Recap: LSU advances to regional title with win over Dallas Baptist
Facing Dallas Baptist with a trip to the regional title on the line, LSU baseball advanced with a 12-0 victory. It was LSU's second win over DBU this season as the Tigers beat the Patriots 7-3 in February. After seeing Anthony Eyanson on the mound in game one yesterday, Kade Anderson got the nod. He had one walk in the first but struck out the other side to send us to the home half of the inning. LSU wasted no time taking the lead as Ethan Frey hit a two-RBI double to give LSU a 2-0 lead after one inning. In the top of the second inning, Derek Curiel made an incredible play in left field to get a double play and get the Tigers out of the inning unscathed. In the bottom of the second inning, Chris Stanfield hit his first homer of the year to increase the lead to 3-0. In the bottom of the third, LSU extended the lead even more as the Tigers scored three runs. Advertisement An error scored a run, Stanfield hit an RBI single, and Curiel hit an RBI single to make it 6-0 LSU after three innings. Both teams were scoreless in the fourth inning, but LSU tacked on to its lead in the bottom of the sixth when Luis Hernandez hit an RBI single and LSU executed a double steal to take home and make it 9-0 Tigers. Anderson was pulled from the game after seven full innings of work. He allowed zero runs on four hits, 11 strikeouts, and two walks. DJ Primeaux entered to pitch in the eighth inning. He walked the first two hitters he faced and then got an out on a fielder's choice. He was then pulled from the game as Jacob Mayers entered. Mayers got the Tigers out of the inning unscathed. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Frey hit a triple and then scored on a throwing error to give the Tigers a 10-0 lead. Ashton Larson then hit a sacrifice fly to make it 11-0. A wild pitch scored another run to make it 12-0. William Schmidt entered to pitch for LSU in the ninth inning. He worked the inning unscathed, and the Tigers won 12-0. With the win, LSU advances to the Championship game to play against the winner of Dallas Baptist and Little Rock. That game will be played on Sunday at a time to be determined.

Five takeaways: LSU beats Dallas Baptist, Tigers one win away from Super Regional
LSU baseball couldn't have asked for a better first two days of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The Tigers shutout Little Rock 7-0 on Friday night before beating Dallas Baptist 12-0 on Saturday. LSU is yet to surrender a run, winning its two contests by a combined score of 19-0. Now, LSU awaits the winner of Sunday's Dallas Baptist vs. Little Rock game. The Patriots and Trojans square off, looking to earn another shot at the Tigers. The winner has a quick turnaround before facing LSU on Sunday night. Advertisement But before we move on, let's take a look at how LSU pulled off its dominant win vs. Dallas Baptist. This was the second meeting between the programs this year after LSU won the first round 7-3 in February. DBU entered the contest with one of college baseball's most productive lineups, but you wouldn't know that after watching the Patriots swing vs. Kade Anderson. Here five takeaways from LSU's win. 1. Kade Anderson dominates Anthony Eyanson gave LSU 7.2 shutout innings on Friday night. Kade Anderson followed it up with an elite outing on Saturday. In seven innings of work, Anderson struck out 11 and walked just two. Anderson allowed four hits, but none for extra bases. Nearly two-thirds of Anderson's pitches were strikes. Advertisement That's just what LSU wanted to see from its ace. Anderson is one of the top pitchers in the country, but elite lineups have gotten to him at times. Dallas Baptist had the bats to do damage, but the lefty wasn't having it. That was Anderson's best outing since his complete game vs. Oklahoma. 2. Chris Stanfield finds power in the No. 9 hole Chris Stanfield isn't your typical No. 9 hitter. He was one of LSU's top bats throughout SEC play and he remained hot on Saturday. In the bottom of the second inning, Stanfield arched a ball down the right field line for his first home run of the year. The center fielder isn't known for his strength, but he showed it off with an opposite-field bomb. Stanfield finished the night with three hits and three RBI. Advertisement After transferring from Auburn, Stanfield is in the midst of his best year yet. He hit .276 on the plains in 2024, but is hitting .326 with the Tigers now. Stanfield's .451 slugging is a career best, too. 3. Tigers defense shows up Dallas Baptist was threatening to rally in the top of the second inning. The Patriots started the inning with a walk and a single. Anderson took some momentum back with a strikeout, but it was the defense that got LSU out of it. Left fielder Derek Curiel made a diving catch in left field, popped up, and rifled the ball to first base. Jared Jones caught the DBU base runner off the bag and applied the tag for the inning ending double-play. Advertisement On a night when Dallas Baptist committed four errors, LSU was perfect in the field. 4. LSU comes through in the clutch When LSU had the chance to score runs, the Tigers took advantage. LSU hit .300 with runners on and .333 with runners in scoring position. LSU was .593 on advancement opportunities. LSU hit .333 with two outs. That includes LSU's first runs of the game, which came when Ethan Frey smacked a double down the right field line on a full count with two outs. Frey's clutch hit set the tone for the rest of the night. 5. LSU's bullpen is in a really, really good spot LSU has gotten a combined 14.2 shutout innings from its two starters so far. There's a lot of teams around the country that would kill to have that right now. Advertisement Not only has that been the catalyst for LSU's 2-0 start, but now, LSU's bullpen is perfectly positioned for Sunday night. Jay Johnson is yet to use Zac Cowan or Casan Evans, putting both in a position to give LSU some length in the final. LSU gets to rest on Sunday while its Sunday night opponent plays an elimination game in the afternoon. The Tigers will be fresh while their opponent plays the second game of a doubleheader. Dallas Baptist already burned its two best arms on Saturday night, and Little Rock spent Saturday navigating its way through a game with 32 combined runs. Neither pitching staff is in good shape.
