Pregame Notes (Game 2)
Dave Van Horn has tweaked is starting lineup for the nightcap. Braydon Webb replaces Zack Gregory in left field and as the leadoff man, plus Jacob Nesbit replaces Cullen Smith at third base. He will hit in the 9-hole, moving Casey Opitz and Jalen Battles up a spot in the order.
LSU also subbed in two new players, as Drew Bianco will start at designated hitter and Collier Cranford will start at second base after each of them had extra-base hits as pinch hitters in the first game of the doubleheader.
The pitching matchup features left-hander Lael Lockhart for Arkansas and right-hander Ma'Khail Hilliard for LSU.

Pregame Notes (Game 1)
Arkansas is using the exact same lineup as Friday night, but LSU has made some minor changes to its lineup. Giovanni DiGiacomo and Cade Doughty flipped spots, as did Brody Drost and Zach Arnold.
Full lineups are listed below.
T-1st: Arkansas 5, LSU 0
With the bases loaded, Christian Franklin hit a two-run single to start the scoring. He now has three hits and seven RBIs in his last three at bats.
Robert Moore followed with a triple that cleared the bases and made it 4-0. Then, after a strikeout by Casey Opitz, Cullen Smith hit a double down the right field line for another RBI.
B-2nd: Arkansas 5, LSU 1
The Tigers got back-to-back hits to start the second inning, but Arkansas limited the damage to one run. The Razorbacks turned a double play and would have gotten out of it unscathed, but a wild pitch allowed a run to score from third before the final out was recorded.
B-3rd: Arkansas 5, LSU 2
Another wild pitch scored LSU's second run of the game.
T-5th: Arkansas 12, LSU 2
The Razorbacks finally chased starter AJ Labas by starting the fifth inning with four straight hits. The last two were an RBI double by Brady Slavens and a two-run double by Franklin.
Facing reliever Blake Money, Moore crushed a two-run home run to make it another five-run inning for Arkansas. Opitz followed with a walk, moved to second on a balk and then scored on an RBI single by Smith.
An RBI single by Wallace capped the seven-run outburst.
T-6th: Arkansas 16, LSU 2
RBI singles by Opitz and Jalen Battles extend Arkansas' lead to 14-2. Those hits also mean all nine starters have at least one hit in the game.
Gregory and Goodheart followed with an RBI double and RBI groundout, respectively. That means all nine starters have at least one RBI in the game.
B-6th: Arkansas 16, LSU 3
Dylan Crews led off the inning with an infield single, moved to second when Gavin Dugas drew a walk and then scored on an RBI single by Giovanni DiGiacomo.
B-7th: Arkansas 16, LSU 9
Making his first appearance in nearly two months, Connor Noland gave up a leadoff home run to Zach Arnold, the first guy he faced.
After a couple of weak hits by LSU, Noland gave up a two-out RBI single to DiGiacomo and then a two-run triple to pinch hitter Collier Cranford. Another pinch hitter, Drew Bianco, hit a two-run homer.
T-8th: Arkansas 17, LSU 9
Battles led off the eight inning with a double, tagged up to third on Gregory's deep fly out to right field and then scored on a shallow fly to right by Goodheart.
B-8th: Arkansas 17, LSU 10
The Tigers scored again on a two-out RBI double by Gavin Dugas.
