LSU will send right-hander Alex Lange to the mound on Saturday night when the Tigers open up their stay in Omaha against Florida State. That much we know.

Now, head coach Paul Mainieri has shined some light on where the Tigers are hoping to turn for game two - win or lose against the Seminoles.

LSU plans to start freshman Eric Walker in game two, Mainieri told the media in Omaha on Friday. That plan will move forward as long as Walker feels healthy during his throwing session on Saturday morning. Mainieri said Walker threw 75 pitches during an intra-squad scrimmage on Tuesday, but was left with some soreness. If Walker isn't good to go, senior left-hander Jared Poche will take the mound for game two.

Mainieri said that if Walker is healthy during his session on Saturday, Poche will then be available to come out of the bullpen during Lange's start on Saturday night against FSU. Mainieri added that Walker had taken a no-hitter into the sixth inning during Tuesday's scrimmage.

Walker is carrying an 8-1 record and a 3.46 ERA into the College World Series.
