For the second time in the last three years, LSU baseball is the last team standing in Omaha.
Thanks to an explosive fourth inning, the Tigers defeated No. 13 Coastal Carolina 5-3 on June 22 in Game 2 of the College World Series championship series at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska.
The title is the Tigers’ eighth overall College World Series title, which is the second most among all Division I programs and four behind USC’s 12 titles. This is the second title LSU has won under Jay Johnson and the SEC’s sixth consecutive title.

"I'm just so proud. This is a team. Our whole motto of the year was tough and together and that is what they did from August 26th through now," said Johnson − who became the fastest coach to win two CWS titles at a school in NCAA baseball history − on the ESPN broadcast. "Just incredibly proud."
