LSU's Kade Anderson throws 130 pitches, strikes out 10 in College World Series win
The LSU Tigers relied on Kade Anderson arm's on Saturday night in Game 1 of the Men's College World Series on Saturday night, and they received a phenomenal performance. Anderson allowed only three hits against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and struck out 10 as the Tigers won the game, 1-0. Anderson threw 130 pitches in his complete-game outing. "That's what we've seen all year," LSU coach Jay Johnson said after the game. "He's the best pitcher in the country. And did it again tonight. That's been on the regular every game one of the entire season. Everybody got to see what we've seen and known for an entire season." Anderson is projected to be a top-three pick of the MLB Draft. Steven Milam's RBI single in the first inning was all LSU needed. The Tigers only had six hits in the game. "If it was going to be easy, there would be more than one national champion," Chanticleers coach Kevin Schnall said. "We've got to regroup. We've won 26 in a row. Let's just call it is what it is — the odds were not in our favor to go 28-0 and win this national championship." LSU will look to finish off Coastal Carolina on Sunday. "Again, we've got to respond, rebound, regroup," Schnall said. "We've got Jacob Morrison pitching tomorrow. Answer the bell."

Olivia Dunne makes eye-popping comment after fan's Madelyn Cline post
Former LSU Tigers gymnast Olivia Dunne made an eyebrow-raising comment on social media after one fan made an eye-popping description of the Men's College World Series. The Tigers were taking on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers for the national championship. The Barstool Sports Coastal Carolina affiliate wrote on X, "this college world series is literally the Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne bowl." "Gooner World Series," Dunne wrote in response. The term "gooner" refers to a person who makes pornography a top priority in their life and could also refer to a fan of the English Premier League club Arsenal, according to Urban Dictionary. Cline, an actress who has appeared in "Glass Onion" and "Outer Banks," attended Coastal Carolina University briefly. It's unclear whether she will show up to Omaha, Nebraska, to cheer on the Chanticleers. Dunne has already been spotted at the College World Series. She was seen wearing a Paul Skenes jersey that had the Tigers' logo on the front and Pittsburgh Pirates colors on the back. The Pirates selected Skenes with the No. 1 overall pick out of LSU in the 2023 draft. Skenes helped the Tigers to a College World Series title. He made his major league debut last year and was named the National League Rookie of the Year. He and Dunne are dating. Dunne also ended her collegiate career with a national championship on her resume. She has since been seen walking the runway for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

How to watch the 2025 Men's College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina
Fresh off an enlivening and altogether chaotic comeback, the LSU Tigers have a chance to win their eighth NCAA title in program history this weekend. On the other side, the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will try to go 2-for-2 in College World Series appearances, and the team brings a 26-game winning streak into the championship action. We're primed for a good one in Cornhusker country. Advertisement College World Series broadcasts are also available on ESPN+. Chanticleers coach Kevin Schnall rightfully insists on the proper pronunciation. 'It's SHON-ta-cleers, not CHAN-ta-cleers,' he clarified after another momentous win, this time over Oregon State. With two more wins, they can also call themselves national champs. Catcher Caden Bodine, a top-round prospect, leads Coastal Carolina's balanced and intimidating lineup. Right-handers Jacob Morrison and Cameron Flukey make for a strong 1-2 punch atop the mound. And first baseman Colby Thorndyke comes in with a searing swing. He recorded five RBIs last time out in Wednesday's 11-3 demolition of Louisville. The Chanticleers made their maiden World Series trip in 2016, dropping the opener to Arizona before bouncing back with consecutive wins. Their opponents, meanwhile, have won the series seven times, more than any school in the country except USC (which hasn't made a final since 2001). LSU last won it all in 2023, when current MLB superstar Paul Skenes led his team past Florida. This year's iteration has a flair for the dramatic, reaching the World Series off an 11th-hour comeback against SEC rival Arkansas. The Tigers were down 5-3 in the ninth inning, before a pair of defensive mishaps by the Razorbacks put Jared Jones in walk-off position. LSU's first baseman had previously tied the game up with a solo moonshot in the eighth inning. He followed that up with the decisive base hit into straightaway center field. The Tigers enjoy tone-setting starting pitching. Southpaw Kade Anderson is a contender for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, while right-hander Anthony Eyanson more than holds his own. The duo racks up strikeouts and has delivered in pressurized situations, and will have to do it again. Streaming, betting and ticketing links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.
