The LSU Tiger softball team is looking to keep it's loose and free play that they've found in the postseason and channel it for their upcoming NCAA Regional at Tiger Park starting on Friday.

The start of Regional play has been moved up due to weather in the area and LSU is happy to have the homefield advantage of playing at Tiger Park because of the the familiarity of being in their own locker room and ballpark should there be any delays.
