Tournament: Coastal Carolina baseball vs LSU update

Coastal Carolina baseball lost for the first time in two months, and the Chanticleers’ College World Series hopes rest on the team not losing again.

No. 6 seed LSU defeated Coastal 1-0 on June 21 at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three NCAA championship series.

The No. 13 seed Chanticleers (56-12) lost for the first time since April 22, ending their winning streak at 26 games. They were shut out for only the third time this season.

LSU (52-15) can clinch the 2025 championship with a win in Game 2 on June 22 (2:30 p.m. ET, ABC). Coastal must win twice to earn the program’s second national title, its first since 2016.

The Tigers scored in the first when Derek Curiel led off with a walk, advanced to second on a groundout and scored on Steven Milam’s single.  On the groundout, Coastal shortstop Ty Dooley appeared to have a chance to get Curiel at second but chose to throw out the batter.

LSU left-hander Kade Anderson (12-1) walked five and hit Coastal star Caden Bodine twice with pitches but allowed only three hits in pitching a complete game. Coastal was 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position against him and struck out to end each of the first four innings. Anderson finished with 10 strikeouts.

Chanticleers pitcher Cameron Flukey (7-2) was nearly as good, allowing only four hits and two walks while striking out nine in six innings.
