Kade Anderson's masterclass performance lifts the Tigers, advances to winner's bracket in College World Series.

LSU baseball got the win, but the lineup struggled vs. Arkansas. Should we be concerned about the Tigers' bats moving forward?

Gabe Gaeckle came up big for Arkansas during its first college baseball game of the College World Series. However, the right-handed pitcher's shoelaces

LSU left-hander Kade Anderson's masterclass performance on Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha (Neb.) lifted the Tigers to a 4-1 College World Series win over Arkansas. Anderson fired 7.0 innings of work with seven strikeouts while limiting the Razorbacks to one run during his time on the bump.

Arkansas football players took some time to send their well wishes to Arkansas baseball ahead of the College World Series.

By qualifying for the CWS this season, Arkansas ties Clemson and North Carolina with 12 appearances and no championships (to date). The Razorbacks are making their eighth appearance in the CWS since 2008.

In a cruel stroke of irony, it was LSU that battled the Arkansas pitchers into submission, not the other way around. The Tigers had 11 two-strike foul balls to extend at-bats and run Arkansas' pitch count up.

But Friday morning’s session was another pit stop on the homecoming tour for Arkansas sophomore second baseman Cam Kozeal at Millard South, where the Omaha-born infielder played before college. He led the snaking line of Razorbacks off the team bus to the field, welcomed by young kids for high fives.
