What is LSU baseball's record in the College World Series?
What is LSU baseball's record in the College World Series? On Saturday in Omaha, LSU baseball opens its 20th appearance in the College World Series. The Tigers start play against a familiar foe in Arkansas at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN inside Charles Schwab Stadium. Among its peers in the SEC, LSU holds the best record in the College World Series with a 46-29 overall record. Since they won their first game in the tournament in 1991, the Tigers have won seven national championships. During LSU's 1991 run to its first national championship under Skip Bertman, it defeated Florida 8-1 inside Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium. Since then, the Tigers brought their total of national championships to seven. They hope to replicate their success from 2023 for the second title under head coach Jay Johnson. He led an LSU team with Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews to the program's most recent national championship. For Johnson, this is his fourth trip to Omaha as a head coach. Prior to leading LSU to two appearances, Johnson made two College World Series trips as Arizona's head coach. In 2016, Arizona made it to the CWS final before losing to Coastal Carolina. In 2021, Arizona went 0-2 and was eliminated in two games.
