LSU clinches spot in College World Series final after Arkansas botches game in most brutal fashion
An already insane game between LSU and Arkansas in the College World Series had a fitting ending as the Tigers advanced to the championship series for the second consecutive time. Down 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth on Wednesday night in Omaha, Neb., it looked as though the Razorbacks were on the verge of victory, but a misplayed ball with two outs kept LSU alive and led to its eventual win. Luis Hernandez lined a two-out ball into left field, and it looked as though Charles Davalan was going to make the catch for the final out.

Steven Branscombe-Imagn Images Nevertheless, Davalan seemed to misread where the ball was going to go and was forced to scramble as he raced to try to make a catch, unsuccessfully diving as it hit off his glove and rolled away. It allowed Ethan Frey and Steven Milam to score and tie the game at five as the crowd in Omaha went ballistic at what had just occurred. Advertisement 4 Charles Davalan misplayed the ball in left field with two outs in the ninth. But the dramatics weren't done there. Jared Jones, who had already hit a game-tying solo home run in the eighth inning, then stepped up to the plate and hit one off the glove of Arkansas second baseman Cam Kozeal that went into the outfield and allowed the game-winning run to score.

The win sets the stage for a showdown in the championship series between LSU and Coastal Carolina, which is set to begin on Saturday at 7 p.m.

LSU baseball comeback vs. Arkansas: How Tigers rallied at College World Series
LSU baseball comeback vs. Arkansas: How Tigers rallied at College World Series Show Caption Hide Caption Arkansas' Gage Wood throws historic no-hitter in College World Series Arkansas' Gage Wood tosses the third no-hitter in Men's College World Series history as Arkansas tops Murray State. NCAA Arkansas baseball was knocking on the door of forcing a winner-take-all semifinal game against LSU, holding a 5-3 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. The No. 6 Tigers had other plans, however, putting together a three-run rally, capped off by a walk-off hit from Jared Jones. LSU earned its second win over the Razorbacks at the 2025 College World Series (the Tigers also beat Arkansas in the opening round of the tournament). Arkansas then fought through the loser's bracket to reach the semifinals, and a win on Wednesday, June 18 would've forced a winner-take-all game to reach the national championship series on Thursday, June 19. REQUIRED READING: Tigers reach national championship with walk-off win This will be LSU's second national title appearance in three seasons; it won the national championship in 2023 over Florida. The Tigers will face No. 13 Coastal Carolina, which hasn't lost this postseason and is on a 26-game win streak. Here's how Arkansas blew its 5-3 lead in the College World Series semifinals, and how LSU took the game to reach the national championship: How LSU baseball came back vs. Arkansas in College World Series Things didn't start off ideal for LSU, as leadoff hitter John Pearson struck out to start the bottom of the ninth inning. The Tigers were facing Arkansas left-hander Cole Gibler, who entered the game with 56 strikeouts in 28⅔ innings. Derek Curiel got the rally started for LSU in the next at-bat, however, reaching base on a single before advancing to second on an error by Reese Robinett, who made an errant throw as Gibler attempted to cover the base. That's when the game started to unravel for Arkansas, giving LSU life. Ethan Frey drew a walk to put runners on first and second base with one out, with 3-hole hitter Steven Milam coming up to the plate. Milam hit a grounder, which was fielded by Arkansas star shortstop Wehiwa Aloy. However, Aloy didn't attempt to turn a game-ending double play, instead throwing out Curiel, the lead runner, at third base. Luis Hernandez came through with a giant hit in the next at-bat, hitting a two-run double to left field to tie the game at 5-5. Arkansas left fielder Charles Davalan dove for the line drive, but missed the ball, resulting in two runs. LSU then had a runner on second with two outs for Jared Jones, who had tied the game at 3-3 with a solo home run in his last at-bat in the eighth inning. Jones stayed hot in the ninth, delivering a game-winning single to center field to score Hernandez, resulting in a 6-5 win. HOW 'BOUT THEM FIGHTING TIGERS 🔥 — LSU Baseball (@LSUbaseball) June 19, 2025 LSU was able to capitalize on Arkansas' mistakes, from the throwing error that resulted in Curiel reaching base with one out, to Aloy passing up a potential double play and Davalan missing a would-be game-ending diving catch in left field.

Report: Rutgers' Ace Bailey cancels visit with Sixers ahead of draft
Report: Rutgers' Ace Bailey cancels visit with Sixers ahead of draft With the 2025 NBA draft just about a week away, now is the time for teams to get down to the nitty gritty and make their final decisions on prospects as they move forward with the process. The Philadelphia 76ers are no different as they continue preparing for the No. 3 pick. The Sixers will, for sure, meet with Duke guard Kon Knueppel. He stated on "The Bill Simmons Podcast" that he has a Zoom meeting set up with the Sixers, but not a workout. Philadelphia has welcomed Baylor's VJ Edgecombe in for a workout, and had one set with Rutgers star Ace Bailey, but that has reportedly been canceled. Per ESPN's Jonathan Givony: Former Rutgers star Ace Bailey has canceled a visit to the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told ESPN. Bailey, the No. 3 prospect on ESPN's big board, was slated to fly to Philadelphia, owners of the No. 3 pick in the draft, Friday, for dinner with the team's front office and a private workout, but elected to cancel on Wednesday, sources told ESPN. With that being said, Bailey is still an option for Philadelphia. Just because he hasn't come in for a workout doesn't mean the Sixers will not outright select him. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey has never been shy about making big moves and Bailey qualifies as one when considering the immense talent he brings to the table. Morey selected Jared McCain in the 2024 draft and he did not visit Philadelphia for a workout. Givony added: The Sixers have not ruled out selecting Bailey, despite his refusal to visit Philadelphia, sources told ESPN. The team has scouted him extensively throughout the season, as he plays his college basketball at nearby Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey, and interviewed him in Chicago at the NBA Draft Combine. The team will have final discussions on who to select in the coming week and is unlikely to move down in the draft order next Wednesday, sources said. Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in his freshman season with Rutgers.
