The Louisiana State University Tigers have claimed the NCAA baseball championship for the second time in three years.

The top-seeded LSU Tigers secured their victory today with a four-run rally in the fourth inning and a strong performance from starting pitcher Anthony Eyanson (ranked 66th on MLB's rookie list), defeating the 13th-seeded Coastal Carolina University 5-3, thus winning the national championship title again in three years.

This championship marks the Tigers' fourth title of the century (the most in the nation) and the eighth in the program's history, second only to the University of Southern California's record of 12 titles. The Tigers' roster features six players ranked among the top 200 prospects in MLB's rookie list, the highest among teams that reached the Omaha finals.

Starting left-handed pitcher Kade Anderson (ranked third on the rookie list) was named the series' Most Outstanding Player for his shutout performance in the opener. This potential first overall pick has mirrored the path of former Tigers ace Paul Skenes—who received this honor two years ago and was selected first overall by the Pirates in the 2023 draft just weeks later.

Coastal Carolina University, leading the nation with 56 wins this season, sent out Golden Spikes Award semifinalist pitcher Jacob Morrison to face the challenge. Despite the right-hander allowing only 11 runs in his first nine starts, the Tigers managed to score five runs in 3.2 innings, overwhelming the 6-foot-8 Morrison.

The crucial fourth-inning offensive surge was led by center fielder Chris Stanfield and left fielder Derek Curiel, each contributing two-run RBIs, with Curiel's hit directly ending Morrison's outing.

Eyanson continued Anderson's impressive performance, pitching 6.1 innings and striking out nine batters. His three earned runs came from two home runs: a solo shot by designated hitter Dean Mihos in the second inning and a two-run homer by center fielder Wells Sykes in the seventh. However, the right-hander did not allow any other runners to advance beyond first base.

Sykes' home run was Eyanson's 99th pitch (the final pitch of the day). Following that, right-handed reliever Chase Shores (ranked 85th on the rookie list) took over, finishing with a combination of triple-digit fastballs and an 80 mph slider, allowing no runs in 2.2 innings, giving up just one hit while striking out four batters.
