WHAT TO WATCH FOR: LSU managed only one win of the series last year when the Aggies came to College Station, and now it will travel with a whole new ball club on a mission to kick off Southeastern Conference play on a high note. The Aggies made the College World Series last year with a team mainly built from the transfer portal, and most of those guys return this year. The lineup doesn’t have star power, but it is consistent. The two guys to watch are Arizona State-transfer Hunter Haas, who is batting .371 so far this year and Austin Bost, who is on a 10-game hitting streak. So far, starting pitcher Nathan Dettmer holds an ERA of 2.37 through 19 innings pitched, striking out 24 and walking 7.
