Gray will make his first career appearance against LSU tonight in front of crowd that is projected to be 10,000 strong. In Gray's last "official" outing he allowed just one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts and no walks in win over Tennessee. A native of Smyrna, Tenn., Gray ranks in the top-four in the SEC in strikeouts (72), opponent batting average (.205) and ERA (2.22).
LSU will counter with ace righthander Anthony Ranaudo. Ranaudo (2-2, 7.01 ERA) has battled some injuries this year and hasn't returned to last season form. Last year the 6-foot-7 righthander went 12-3 with a 3.04 ERA. He was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2009.
