OMAHA, Neb. — Jay Johnson texted Nate Ackenhausen at 8:56 a.m. Tuesday to let him know he would make his first start for LSU less than 12 hours later in a game against Tennessee with the Tigers' season on the line.“I texted him that I would give it all I've got," the big left-hander said.
“When you’re on this side of the bracket, you need that,” Johnson said. “If you're going to do something here, you need a performance like Nate gave us.” Tennessee was eliminated after it failed to score for the first time in 133 games since a 6-0 loss to Virginia in the 2021 CWS.Ackenhausen came into the game having logged 22 1/3 innings over 15 relief appearances. He had not gone more than 3 2/3 innings since he was a starter for Eastern Oklahoma State last year.
The 6-foot-2, 240-pounder ended up outdueling Drew Beam, a projected high pick in the 2024 draft who was coming off strong starts in regionals and super regionals.
