BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – LSU Baseball will head west in 2027 for the fourth annual ‘Live Like Lou’ Las Vegas College Baseball Classic at Las Vegas Ballpark. The tournament runs March 5-7.
The participating teams are LSU, Arizona State, Iowa and Oregon State, according to Peak Events, LLC.
The 2027 ‘Live Like Lou’ Las Vegas Classic will include three days of play at Las Vegas Ballpark, which serves as the home of the Athletics’ Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas Aviators. The weekend tournament will have two games per day in a round-robin format. The full schedule, including matchups and game times, will be finalized soon.
“We’re excited to welcome everyone back for the fourth annual Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic,” said Ryan Holloway, Founder and CEO of Peak Events. “Each year this event continues to grow, and we’re proud to once again bring four of the nation’s premier programs together at the incredible Las Vegas Ballpark. Thanks to outstanding partners like the Las Vegas Aviators and the Live Like Lou Foundation, we’re looking forward to delivering another first-class experience for the teams, fans, and the entire college baseball community.”
