Jay Johnson and the LSU baseball program return to Boshamer Stadium on Sunday in a "win or go home" showdown against the Wofford Terriers.

LSU defeated Wofford on Friday afternoon after freshman second baseman Steven Milam launched a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Now, it's a familiar foe on Sunday with no room for error from either program.

The winner of the LSU-Wofford regional elimination game will meet North Carolina at 5 p.m. CT/6 p.m. ET Sunday.

Here's a look into both programs starting lineups, what Jay Johnson said ahead of the showdown and live updates from Sunday in Chapel Hill:

LSU's Starting Lineup	Wofford's Starting Lineup
3B Tommy White	CF Marshall Toole
2B Steven Milam	3B Dixon Black
1B Jared Jones	2B Brice Martinez
LF Josh Pearson	C Daniel Jackson
SS Michael Braswell III	RF David Wiley

What Jay Johnson Said:

“I know that Wofford played seven games to win their conference tournament, so it’s a team that has a lot of toughness to it. That’s an impressive accomplishment … What I like about our team is we have a mindset relative to confidence and belief that is stronger than it’s been all season. Our players had to win to earn it, and they did; they’ve won a lot lately. Having 40 wins before the NCAA Tournament starts, that’s a good accomplishment. I think we have a brand of baseball now where the pitching dynamic is good, and the at-bats have certainly gotten better. I feel like we have an identity and we have the confidence, and that’s what makes us tough to play.”
