Baton Rouge Regional

OUR ONE UPSET CALL. LSU is 33-16 and feeling the pressure of a Torina-era ceiling stuck at supers. Virginia Tech is 44-9 with Bree Carrico (1.72 ERA — 17th nationally, ACC Freshman of the Year) + Jordan Lynch (.440 BA, 10 HR in ACC). VT was the ACC Tournament runner-up to FSU; their staff leads the ACC in ERA. South Alabama's Ryley Harrison just didn't allow a run for 13.1 IP in Sun Belt tournament. This regional is genuinely VT's to win.
