The LSU baseball team knocked off Coastal Carolina to claim the program's eighth national championship in the College World Series in Omaha. Jay Johnson's Tigers pulled away in the fourth inning.

It was the eighth CWS title in program history for the Tigers (53-15) and their second in the past three seasons. Coastal finished the season 56-13 in a campaign in which they won 26 consecutive games before dropping their final two to LSU in the CWS best-of-three finals.

LSU knocked previously unbeaten Coastal Carolina ace Jacob Morrison out of the game with a four-run fourth inning and the Tigers won their second national championship in three years with a 5-3 victory in the College World Series finals.
