Good morning, everyone. We've got some football news, and assorted baseball and softball nuggets for you this morning, so we'll get right to it. Football As most of you know, the Tigers' first spring game under coach Brian Kelly is in the books following Saturday's work in Tiger Stadium. Based on that, and his observations gleaned from watching earlier workouts in the spring, beat writer Wilson Alexander takes a final look at where the tightest position battles are shaping up with the start of fall camp a little more than three months away. Baseball Monday is always a big day after a weekend baseball series, and, as usual, there's a lot of news to catch up on as LSU goes into the final week of April. We'll start with coach Jay Johnson updating the status of his walking wounded, most notably outfielder Gavin Dugas and catcher Alex Milazzo. Also, beat writer Leah Vann takes a look at the outstanding performance of little-used relief pitcher Jacob Hasty in the Missouri series and what other LSU pitchers who might be in line to step up when needed — perhaps as early as Tuesday night's game at UNO. Of course, the national polls were released Monday and LSU moved up in some and remained the same in others and we catch you up on where you can watch or listen to the game with UNO. Softball Finally, Beth Torina's surging Tigers, who have won three SEC series in a row, will open a four-game homestand Tuesday night against McNeese State. Thank you for reading.
