With fall ball winding down, the 2018 LSU baseball team will hold an intra-squad series over the course of this week.
Game 1 begins on Tuesday at 6:30 at Alex Box Stadium. Game 2 will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, and Game 3 at 7 p.m. on Friday. The games will be six innings, and they are open to the public with free admission.
The event will also bring back former Tigers to manage each squad.
Sean Ochinko (2007-09) will manage the Gold squad. His assistants are Ryan Schimpf (2007-09), Andrew Stevenson (2013-15), Leon Landry (2008-10) and Anthony Ranaudo (2008-10).
The Purple squad is going be managed by Kramer Robertson (2014-2017) and more recent players, including Cole Freeman (2016-2017), Jared Poche’ (2014-2017), Greg Deichmann (2015-2017) and Alex Lange (2015-2017).
“The Purple-Gold World Series provides a very competitive environment for our players,” said 12th-year LSU coach Paul Mainieri in a press release. “The players really look forward to the games, because they give them the chance to experience what a night at ‘The Box’ will be like during the regular season. We expect the 2018 Tigers to uphold the high standards we have at LSU, and we invite all of our fans to come out and get an early preview of our team.”
