On deck for next week A reuninon and a change to avenge the darkest weekend of 2001 highlight the slate for the final full week of April.

First up is the final game of the four-game road trip on Tuesday at Louisiana-Monroe. The Tigers swept the Indians in three games at Alex Box Stadium in March, but this will be more interesting as LSU coach Smoke Laval will coach his first game from the visiting dugout at Indian Field. Laval beat LSU twice at Monroe while the Indians’ skipper in 1997 and 1999, although LSU won 16-4 last year. This marks the first time that LSU will be visiting Monroe in back-to-back years.

Arkansas invades The Box next weekend in a battle of SEC border rivals. The Razorbacks came into last year’s series at Fayetteville just 8-16 in the SEC, but humiliated the Tigers by sweeping all three games, becoming the first SEC team to sweep LSU in five years and knocking the Tigers out of the top spot in the ESPN/Baseball Weekly poll. The good news for LSU is that the series is in Baton Rouge, where the Tigers are 14-2 all-time against the Hogs, compared to just 1-8 since 1998 away from The Box. LSU has scored 69 runs in its last four home against the Hogs, including a 27-6 bashing in the 1998 finale. 2002 LSU GAME--BY--GAME LOG (25--13, 8--6 SEC)
