Friday, June 13

Game 1 – Coastal Carolina 7, Arizona 4

Coastal Carolina and Arizona were tied at 4-4 entering the bottom of the eighth, but the Chanticleers’ bats woke up in a big way from there. They scored three runs in the inning to go up 7-4, which held as the final as Coastal Carolina advanced into the winners’ bracket.

Game 2 – Oregon State 4, Louisville 3

After failing to cross the plate in Friday’s game, Louisville broke through in the top of the ninth. The Cardinals – thanks to some chaotic sequences – pushed two runs across to tie things up at 3-3. That brought Oregon State up hoping to walk it off, and that’s exactly what Gavin Turley did with a game-winning double to seal the 4-3 victory.

Saturday, June 14

Game 3 – UCLA 6, Murray State 4

UCLA broke out in a big way in the fourth inning to take control against Murray State in Saturday’s opening game. The Racers didn’t back down, though, and made things interesting late. However, the Bruins held on for the 6-4 victory to advance in the winners’ bracket.

Game 4 – LSU 4, Arkansas 1

LSU got the better of SEC rival Arkansas on Saturday to advance to the winner’s bracket. LSU opened up a 3-0 lead in the second inning and hung on the rest of the way. It was a stifling effort from the LSU defense, which allowed only three hits all day as Kade Anderson picked up the win at pitcher. The Razorbacks now move on to face Murray State on Monday, where they’ll need to win to keep their season alive.

Sunday, June 15

Game 5 – Louisville 8, Arizona 3

Louisville entered the bottom of the eighth inning down 3-2 to Arizona. Then, the Cardinals caught fire, rattling off six runs to take a commanding 8-3 lead. Louisville senior Kamau Neighbors was spectacular for the Cardinals, recording a game-high four hits on four at-bats. With the win, Louisville secured at least another two days in Omaha.

— Arizona eliminated

Game 6 – Coastal Carolina 6, Oregon State 2

A double, with three runs batted in from it, at the top of the opening inning gave Coastal Carolina the lead for the game tonight in Omaha, with the Chanticleers putting up three more runs total in the fourth and fifth. The Beavers were then unable to score enough runs with Jacob Morrison, Hayden Johson, and Ryan Lynch striking out 10 and posting an ERA of 1.87. Coastal Carolina, having won 25 straight, will now be a win away from making the finals of the College World Series, while Oregon State will play a rematch with Louisville on Tuesday for the right to play the Chanticleers again for a chance at the championship series.

Monday, June 16

Game 7 – Arkansas 3, Murray State 0

Gage Wood is now forever a College World Series legend, throwing a no-hitter against Murray State to eliminate the Racers. Just three have been thrown in the event’s history. If not for an eighth-inning hit by pitch, Wood would have a perfect game attached to his name. But still not too shabby of an accomplishment for the righty as his pitch count finished at 119. Arguably more importantly, Arkansas kept its season alive and will now face the loser of Monday’s nightcap.

— Murray State eliminated

Tuesday, June 17

Game 8 – LSU 9, UCLA 5

After the game was delayed following the first three innings on Monday, LSU picked up where it left off and defeated UCLA 9-5 on Tuesday. In the win, LSU’s Jared Jones was spectacular, recording two hits, including a three-run homer in the bottom of the first inning.

Game 9 – Louisville 7, Oregon State 6

In one of the more wild ninth innings in College World Series history, Louisville avoided disaster to stay alive in Omaha. Up three going into the top half of the frame, Oregon State came back to tie things up. Louisville promptly responded with a walk-off sac-fly. Elation for the Cardinals while the Beavers experience heartbreak.

— Oregon State eliminated

Game 10 – Arkansas 7, UCLA 3

For the second time on Tuesday, UCLA was out on the field. Both results wound up being the same as the Bruins are going home. Arkansas was just too much for them to handle, putting up a seven-spot to keep their College World Series hopes alive. Now, we have an all-SEC rematch with the championship series on the line.

Wednesday, June 18

Game 11 – Coastal Carolina 11, Louisville 3

Coastal Carolina won its 26th consecutive game on Wednesday with a dominant 11-3 victory over Louisville, sending the Cardinals back home to the Bluegrass state. Chanticleer first baseman Colby Thorndyke drove in five runs, becoming the first player to total five RBIs in a game to send his team to a MCWS Final since 2000. Head coach Kevin Schnall’s team is now headed to the Men’s College World Series Final against LSU/Arkansas, looking to become the first team since 1960 to win the Men’s College World Series in its first two appearances (2016 and 2025).

— Louisville eliminated

Game 12 – LSU 6, Arkansas 5

In what was a back-and-forth affair, LSU walked-off Arkansas 6-5 Wednesday night to advance to the 2025 Men’s College World Series Final. Arkansas jumped ahead 5-3 the top of the ninth on a Justin Thomas Jr. two-run single, but LSU responded to put runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the ninth. LSU’s Steven Milam then seemingly grounded into game-ending double play, but Arkansas shortstop Wehiwa Aloy decided to get the force-out at third instead. LSU’s Luis Hernandez then made Aloy pay for his mistake, as he belted a two-run double to left field to tie the game. Jared Jones then snuck a game-winning RBI-single over the head of Arkansas’ Cam Kozeal, setting the Tigers up on a date with Coastal Carolina with the National Championship on the line.

— Arkansas eliminated

Saturday, June 21

CWS Finals Game 1 – LSU 1, Coastal Carolina 0

Saturday night’s Men’s College World Series Final opener was the Kade Anderson show. LSU‘s star left-handed pitcher threw his second career complete game shutout (first in MCWS since 2018), holding the Chanticleers to just three hits and no runs with 10 strikeouts. The lone run of the game scored in the bottom of the first inning, courtesy of a Steven Milam RBI-single. With the win, LSU snaps Coastal Carolina’s 26-game winning streak and is just one game away from its eight National Championship in program history.

CWS Finals Game 2 – LSU 5, Coastal Carolina 3

The fireworks started early in Game 2 as Coastal Carolina head coach Kevin Schnall and first-base coach Matt Schilling were ejected in the bottom of the first inning for “prolonged arguing” of balls and strikes. The Chanticleers responded, though, taking a 1-0 lead on a second-inning solo home run from Dean Mihos. But that advantage was quickly erased when LSU tied the game at 1-1 with an RBI-double to left from Ethan Frey in the top of the third. The Tigers then piled on with four runs in the top of the fourth, sparked by a pair of two-RBI singles from Chris Stanfield and Derek Curiel to pull ahead 5-1. Coastal Carolina senior Wells Sykes cut into that lead with a two-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, but LSU reliever Chase Shores shut the door from there for the championship series sweep.

— Coastal Carolina eliminated.
