In Wednesday’s national semifinal, LSU, the No. 6 seed, won 6-5 in walk-off fashion with three runs in the bottom of the ninth — all with two outs — against third-seeded Arkansas.
Jared Jones delivered the game-winning hit against reliever Aiden Jimenez, a line drive that bounced into center field off the glove of leaping second baseman Cam Kozeal to score Luis Hernandez from second base.
Four pitches earlier, Hernandez stroked a liner toward Charles Davalan in left field against freshman reliever Cole Gibler. The ball struck Davalan’s glove and bounced some 20 feet toward the foul line as Davalan lowered his body to attempt a game-winning catch. Ethan Frey scored from second base, and Steven Milam raced around from first to even the game.
💬 “I would coach this team forever,” LSU coach Jay Johnson said. “I’ve been telling them that since March or April.”
Arkansas had taken the lead at 5-3 in the top of the ninth on a one-out single by Justin Thomas that scored two runs.
The heartbreak is nothing new for the Razorbacks, who have failed to win a championship in 12 trips to the CWS, including eight visits under coach Dave Van Horn. His team in 2018 lost a shot at the title when a foul pop-up dropped between three defenders with two outs in the ninth inning against Oregon State.
“This means more to me,” Johnson said, “because of the respect I have for them. … What a game. I don’t know if ESPN Classic is still around. (But) they should play that game on loop for a week.”

Trénuje v Česku, vládne světu. Japonku z Domažlic čeká v Tokiu šílenství
Křišťálové trofeje ze Zlaté tretry nemusí vozit domů přes půlku světa, jen téměř na druhý konec republiky. Zatím má doma dvě, v úterý bude usilovat o třetí. „Chtěla bych ji získat. Doufám, že hodím ještě dál než v Oslu,“ hlásí Kitagučiová, která v norské metropoli ovládla Diamantovou ligu výkonem 64,63 m.V souboji s mladou Srbkou Adrianou Vilagošovou, který si v Ostravě zopakuje. „To je dobře, potřebuju silné soupeřky,“ vypráví usměvavá Japonka češtinou, než po chvíli raději přejde do angličtiny. Po Zlaté tretře se hned přesune do své rodné země na národní šampionát, pak se vrátí do Domažlic. Další cesta do Asie už přijde před mistrovstvím světa.Počítá, že při vrcholu sezony v Tokiu na ní budou upřeny oči desetitisíců fanoušků, kteří si budou chtít vynahradit, že na covidové olympiádě na Národní stadion nemohli. „Doufám, že bude plný.

Juan Soto makes history with two home runs to help Mets snap seven-game losing streak
Getty Images The Mets grabbed a much-needed win in Philadelphia Saturday night, 11-4, snapping their seven-game losing streak and again tying the Phillies atop the NL East. Brandon Nimmo homered twice for the Mets while Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez added home runs of their own, but the headline here on an individual basis belongs to Juan Soto. He went 4 for 5 and homered twice with the second one being an upper-tank beauty to provide the Mets with some breathing room.Soto now has 16 homers and 39 RBI this season. He's hitting .256/.393/.484 on the season. This was actually his third two-homer game in 2025 and that runs his tally to 26 in his career. This ties Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx for the most ever by a player before turning 27 years old, according to MLB.com. Soto turns 27 on Oct. […]
