LSU head coach
Jay Johnson
scripted history as he secured his second CWS title since taking over the program in 2022, a feat no other coach has achieved in fewer than eight seasons, following a successful six-year stint at Arizona.
'It's not to be taken for granted, being here two years ago,' Johnson said. 'That was special. Greatest night of my life. This is equal and maybe even tops in some ways.'

Coastal Carolina coach ejected from CWS game for 'prolonged arguing,' assistant tossed for comments
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling were ejected in the bottom of the first inning in Game 2 of the College World Series finals against LSU on Sunday. HT Image Walker Mitchell was at bat with two outs and Sebastian Alexander had just stolen second base when Schnall went to the top steps of the dugout, gestured at plate umpire Angel Campos with three fingers and began shouting at him. The NCAA said Schnall was arguing balls and strikes, was given a warning and thrown out when he did not leave immediately. Instead, Schnall went onto the field to continue arguing. 'NCAA Playing Rule 3-6-f-Note 1 states that balls, strikes, half swings or decisions about hit-by-pitch situations are not to be argued,' the NCAA said in a statement. 'After a warning, any player or coach who continues to argue balls, strikes, half swings or a hit-by-pitch situation shall be ejected from the game.' The NCAA said 'prolonged arguing' results in a two-game suspension, so Schnall would miss a possible Game 3 on Monday and next season's opening game. Schilling was thrown out for the comments he made while arguing. If an assistant is ejected, he automatically also is suspended for one game. Schilling also gets an additional two-game suspension under the 'prolonged arguing' rule, the NCAA said. That means he could miss the first two or three games in 2026. Associate head coach Chad Oxendine took over Schnall's duties. Coastal Carolina needs a victory to stay alive in the best-of-three series, which LSU leads 1-0. ___ AP college sports:

Anderson's three-hit shutout helps LSU beat Coastal Carolina in College World Series finals opener
Kade Anderson delivered another masterclass on the mound, pitching a three-hit shutout to lead LSU to a 1-0 win over Coastal Carolina in Game 1 of the College World Series (CWS) finals at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha on Saturday night. With the victory, LSU is now just one win away from securing its second national championship in three years and eighth overall. The loss ended Coastal Carolina's 26-game win streak. The 2016 national champions must win on Sunday to force a decisive Game 3 on Monday. Anderson (12-1), a projected top-three pick in next month's MLB Draft , struck out 10 and allowed just three hits, working around five walks and two hit batters. — LSUbaseball (@LSUbaseball) Anderson's dominant outing marked the first complete game shutout in the College World Series finals since 2018, and only the third since the NCAA adopted the best-of-three championship series format in 2003. Live Events — LSUbaseball (@LSUbaseball) Despite early trouble, he held the Chanticleers scoreless, stranding multiple runners and holding them to 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position. He now has 17 strikeouts and only one earned run allowed in 16 innings during the CWS. LSU scored the game's only run in the first inning on Steve Milam 's RBI single, and Anderson made it stand. Coastal Carolina's Cameron Flukey (8-2) settled in after that, keeping LSU in check through six innings with nine strikeouts before handing the ball to Dominick Carbone in the seventh. — NCAABaseball (@NCAABaseball) As Anderson sealed the game by inducing a flyout in the ninth, he and catcher Luis Hernandez shared an emotional embrace before being swarmed by their teammates. LSU remains unbeaten (16-0) in games where they have led at any point with Anderson on the mound.
