Verdugo to start for LSU on Sunday in CWS

LSU coach Paul Mainieri says Ryan Verdugo will be on the mound Sunday when the Tigers play second-seeded North Carolina in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

LSU's batters will face North Carolina right-hander Alex White (10-3, 2.75 ERA).

Verdugo is 9-3 this season with a team-best 3.90 ERA. He has worked 92.1 innings, recording 36 walks and 82 strikeouts while limiting opponents to a .249 batting average.

The Tigers are seeded fifth, and were last at Omaha in 2004.

They have won 25 of their past 26 games after a 6-11 start in the SEC and a 23-16 overall record in late April.

During the 25-1 stretch, Blake Dean is batting .434 with 12 homers and 11 doubles and Matt Clark .404 with 13 homers and 12 doubles.
