   EUGENE, Ore. – The LSU baseball team arrived in Oregon Wednesday and engaged in a two-hour evening workout at Linn-Benton Community College, as the Tigers prepare for the NCAA Eugene Regional.
 
The Tigers, the No. 3 seed in the regional, will face second-seeded Gonzaga at 9 p.m. CT (7 p.m. PT) on Friday at the University of Oregon’s PK Park.
 
Top-seeded Oregon will face No. 4 seed Central Connecticut State at 4 p.m. CT (2 p.m. PT) on Friday.
 
Friday's games will be streamed live on ESPN3, and they will be broadcast on affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network.
 
LSU coach Paul Mainieri said that junior right-hander Landon Marceaux (6-5, 2.26 ERA) will start Friday’s game on the mound for the Tigers. He will be opposed by Gonzaga junior right-hander Alek Jacob (7-1, 2.82 ERA).
 
“Their pitcher is crafty, and he’s going to make it hard on us, so we’ve got to figure out a way,” Mainieri said. “We worked today on some things that would help us against a pitcher like this, and hopefully we can have success against him. We’ve got to get hot for three days in a row offensively; that’s what I’m hoping we can do out here.”
