LSU Baseball Champs Celebrate at Raising Cane’s
This morning, the **LSU Baseball team**, fresh off their triumphant Men’s College World Series victory, made quite the entrance at the original Raising Cane’s on Highland Road.

From 10-11 a.m., these champions didn’t just bask in the admiration; they rolled up their sleeves, serving customers and interacting with fans and media, all while celebrating with Raising Cane’s founder, Todd Graves. Fans can join in on the festivities with a **national championship celebration** tonight at Alex Box Stadium, starting at 7 p.m. Don’t miss out!
