The 2025 College World Series field is down to just two as Coastal Carolina and LSU have punched their tickets to the final in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Chanticleers, winners of 26 straight, eliminated Louisville, 11-3, on Wednesday and are now two wins away from their second NCAA title — their first since 2016. LSU, meanwhile, took care of Arkansas later Wednesday by scoring three in the bottom of the ninth to add to the Razorbacks’ Omaha woes. The Tigers now can win their second national title in a three-year span and eighth all-time.
But if Arkansas could have made a pair of defensive plays in the ninth on Wednesday, the SEC foes would have battled in a winner-take-all showdown on Thursday. Instead, CCU and LSU will start their three-game championship series on Saturday night.
Justin Thomas Jr.’s two-run single gave Arkansas a 5-3 in the top of the ninth, but a decision made by shortstop Wehiwa Aloy — getting the lead runner at third instead of trying for a game-ending double play — and a blunder in left field by Charles Davalan in the bottom of the frame allowed LSU to tie the score at 5-5.
Bear Jones then followed with a walk-off single, setting up a much-anticipated three-game championship series between LSU and Coastal Carolina.
Before the Razorbacks’ season ended in heartbreaking fashion, Gage Wood turned in a historic and record-breaking performance with the season on the line in Monday’s elimination game against Murray State. Wood threw the first College World Series no-hitter since 1960 while breaking the single-game strikeout record with 19.
Arkansas followed up the historic win by eliminating UCLA on Tuesday. That set up the high-stakes rematch Wednesday night between the No. 3 Arkansas and No. 6 LSU — who were the two highest-seeded teams in the College World Series field.
Following the win, LSU is the betting favorite (-190 at DraftKings) to win the national title. Coastal Carolina is a +155 underdog.

Foden inspires chaotic win over struggling Leeds as Man City move second
Phil Foden scored twice to inspire a chaotic 3-2 win for Manchester City over struggling Leeds that moves them to second in the Premier League table.The result of the game was in jeopardy until the 91st minute, when Foden netted his second of the afternoon after Pep Guardiola's side had inexplicably blown a two-goal lead. City's advantage was established 59 seconds into the match - the quickest opening goal of the Premier League season so far - and extended when Josko Gvardiol converted from a corner. Leeds offered nothing to suggest an upturn was imminent, unable to even land a shot on target. Image: Foden also scored the winner in the 91st minute Under-fire Leeds boss Daniel Farke needed an urgent response and got it via substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who sparked the unlikeliest of turnarounds, pulling a scrappy goal back […]
