Paul Skenes went the distance. Now LSU has the rest of its pitching staff for the rest of the Baton Rouge regional.

Friday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium, Skenes, LSU’s ace right-hander, fired 12 strikeouts in a complete-game 7-2 win against Tulane, sending the the Tigers to Saturday night’s pivotal game.

No. 1-seeded teams often send their second- or third-best starting pitcher to the mound against a No. 4 seed, saving their ace for the second game of the regional — one in which the winner heads to the championship round and the loser plays in another elimination game.

LSU coach Jay Johnson instead elected to go with Skenes, who threw 124 pitches, allowing two runs on seven hits.
