Governor John Bel Edwards raised the stakes for LSU baseball's series against Kentucky this weekend, as LSU's potential trip to Omaha coincides with the governor gaining Kentucky's well-known drink.

As No. 5 LSU hosts Kentucky in the super regional, Edwards made a Twitter post where he proposed a wager with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. If Kentucky wins, Edwards offered Louisiana seafood to Beshear; in return, he expects Kentucky bourbon if LSU pulls out the victory.

Hey @GovAndyBeshear, LSU is ready to host the Wildcats for the Super Regional.

How about a friendly wager? On the off chance Kentucky wins, I will send you some delicious Louisiana seafood. When @LSUbaseball wins, you send me some Kentucky bourbon. What do you say?

The the best-of-three series begins Saturday at 2 p.m., and the winner advances to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
