Live Updates: LSU baseball faces Coastal Carolina in Game 2 of College World Series final
LSU baseball is nine innings away from winning the College World Series and its second national title in three years. The Tigers beat Coastal Carolina in Game 1 on Saturday night with ace Kade Anderson tossing a complete game shutout. LSU could only muster one run -- a Steven Milam RBI single -- but it was enough.
For Coastal Carolina, Saturday marked the Chanticleers' first loss in 26 games. Coastal Carolina starter Cameron Flukey turned in a gem of his own, but he was outdueled by Anderson.
We could be in for another pitchers' duel on Sunday. LSU's Anthony Eyanson will face Coastal Carolina's Jacob Morrison. Both have been among the best pitchers in the country this year.
Eyanson, a UC San Diego transfer, has posted a 2.92 ERA in 101.2 innings. Eyanson's one of the top strikeout pitchers in the country, sitting No. 3 nationally with 143 K's.
Morrison, a big righty, has posted video game numbers in 2025. In 104 innings, Morrison has a 2.08 ERA and a sub-1.000 WHIP.

LSU baseball vs Coastal Carolina prediction
LSU baseball 6, Coastal Carolina 3: A day after Kade Anderson pitched a complete game shutout, I think Anthony Eyanson delivers a similar performance. Eyanson goes seven innings before handing it off to a rested LSU bullpen. The Tigers find enough clutch hits to win the game and take home the national title.

Ex-WNBA star critical of Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith, believes popularity played role in draft selection
Former WNBA star Angel McCoughtry made critical remarks about Chicago Sky rookie Hailey Van Lith over the former TCU women's basketball player's social media following. McCoughtry suggested in a recent podcast interview that Van Lith may not have been looked at in the WNBA if she didn't have a big social media following. Van Lith was one of the most-followed collegiate athletes on social media. She has 1.3 million followers on Instagram alone. "If Hailey Van Lith had 10,000 followers, would she be in the league? Let me ask you that," McCoughtry said on "The Daily W." "Honestly. We're just talking about her true talent. Take away her followers. Would she be in the league if she only had 10,000 followers?" "Hailey Van Lith, she's a decent player," McCoughtry added. "Are there players out there who may be better than Hailey Van Lith? I believe so. They're not popular." Van Lith was a solid guard for Louisville at the start of her collegiate career. She averaged 15.4 points and 2.5 assists with the Cardinals from 2020 to 2023. He transferred to LSU and played with Angel Reese, Flau'jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow and transferred again to finish her collegiate career with TCU, which she led to an NCAA tournament berth. As McCoughtry's comments were dissected across social media over the week, she apologized in an Instagram Live session over the weekend. "Just so y'all know, I know one thing I ain't is a hater. I ain't never hated on nobody and those words ain't never come out my mouth," she said, via CBS Sports. "Now, My mistake I made was giving a point with the wrong delivery. I shouldn't have used a certain player to make an example of a point I was trying to make. And I want to apologize for that. "I can take accountability when I'm wrong y'all, so I'm going to apologize to Hailey for that. You worked hard for everything you've got, plus more. Plus more. And that's to all the players." McCoughtry also starred at Louisville before she was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2009 draft by the Atlanta Dream. She played 10 seasons with the Dream, two for the Las Vegas Aces and one more with the Minnesota Lynx. She was a five-time All-Star and the 2009 WNBA Rookie of the Year. Van Lith has been limited to a bench role during her rookie season so far. She is averaging 5.1 points and 1.5 assists per game in 10 games.

Detroit Tigers won't abandon 'pitching chaos' strategy. Here's why
TAMPA, FL — Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch isn't going to dump the "pitching chaos" strategy. The Tigers have been using a reliever as an opener followed by a starter as a bulk reliever roughly twice every five or six days recently. Advertisement Hinch believes in the approach. "The strategy is sound," Hinch said Sunday, June 22, before the Tigers' series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. "I think the opener part is a little bit misconstrued as to, it's good when it works and it's bad when it doesn't." BEST 2B IN AL: How Gleyber Torres became an All-Star Game lock again with Tigers Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch walks off the field after a pitching change during the first inning against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Monday, May 19, 2025 in St Louis. The goal of the strategy is to limit how many times the primary pitcher faces the top hitters in the opposing lineup. In 2025, the Tigers have used Brant Hurter, Tyler Holton, Beau Brieske and Sean Guenther as openers, with starters Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long serving as bulk relievers. Advertisement The Tigers don't apply the strategy on days that Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty and Casey Mize start. "It impacts things that you don't necessarily see all the time," Hinch said. "It'll affect lineup construction. It'll impact how they space their hitters, which can impact decisions later in the game." The data proves the opener-bulk strategy is effective — but it's not perfect. In 2024, openers had a 2.05 ERA in 30⅔ innings and bulk relievers had a 3.65 ERA in 103⅔ innings. In 2025, openers have a 4.50 ERA in 14 innings and bulk relievers have a 4.89 ERA in 38⅔ innings. This year, is the strategy the problem? Advertisement Or just poor performance? "When you don't execute, it's hard," Hinch said. [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] Don't be surprised if the Tigers use the opener-bulk strategy again as soon as Thursday, June 26, against the Athletics — starting with a lefty reliever like Hurter or Holton to face left-handed hitters Lawrence Butler, Nick Kurtz, Tyler Soderstrom and JJ Bleday, who typically occupy the top seven spots in the lineup, before handing the bulk of the innings to Gipson-Long. Advertisement Or the Tigers could give Gipson-Long a traditional start. Or the Tigers could promote left-hander Dietrich Enns from Triple-A Toledo. Unpredictability is another benefit of the "pitching chaos" strategy — from not knowing who will start to not knowing how long the "starter" will pitch. The uncertainty makes opposing managers uncomfortable as they try to prepare for games against the Tigers. "It's not perfect, but it is a strategy," Hinch said, "and it's been effective for a while now. There's no reason to really abandon it." Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
