BREAKING: LSU Stays Undefeated in Omaha, Roars to 2-0 Start at College World Series 😤

By SportHubs Report | June 17, 2025

 

OMAHA, Neb. — The Tigers are back in their natural habitat — dominating on the biggest stage in college baseball.

 

LSU has stormed to a 2-0 record in the 2025 College World Series, putting the rest of the field on notice with two commanding wins in Omaha that showcased not only their raw talent but the poise, grit, and championship DNA that’s made Baton Rouge one of the sport’s most sacred grounds.

 

With back-to-back victories over elite opponents, the Tigers now sit comfortably just one win away from the CWS Finals, inching closer to what could be their eighth national title — and first since their electric 2023 run.

 

Game 1: Tigers Tame the Tar Heels

 

LSU opened its Omaha campaign with a thrilling 6-3 victory over North Carolina, a team many thought could be the dark horse of the tournament. But from the first pitch, the Tigers made it clear they had come to claim more than just a spot in the bracket.

 

Sophomore ace Luke Holman was lights out on the mound, tossing seven strong innings and fanning nine Tar Heel batters with a devastating mix of fastballs and sliders. The right-hander showed why he’s one of the most feared arms in college baseball, silencing a UNC lineup that had averaged over eight runs per game in the postseason.

 

But it wasn’t just pitching — LSU’s bats came to play.

 

Junior slugger Tommy White, a returning hero from the 2023 national championship squad, launched a towering two-run homer in the fourth inning to break the game open. It was White’s 25th home run of the season, moving him into the top five nationally. Leadoff man Josh Pearson added two hits, two runs scored, and made a highlight-reel catch in the left field corner that killed a potential rally in the sixth.

 

Game 2: Tigers Crush Cavaliers

 

After dispatching the Tar Heels, LSU faced a red-hot Virginia squad that had knocked off some of the tournament’s biggest names. But the Tigers were unfazed.

 

Behind a dominant performance from freshman sensation Gavin Guidry, LSU rolled to a convincing 9-2 win on Monday night, improving to 2-0 in the winner’s bracket and all but booking a ticket to the final four.

 

Guidry, who has been on a tear since the SEC Tournament, went 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run, a double, and four RBIs. His clutch two-out, two-run single in the third inning turned the tide and gave the Tigers a lead they never relinquished.

 

“He’s got that LSU heart,” said Head Coach Jay Johnson. “He’s playing fearless baseball — and that’s what it takes in Omaha.”

 

On the mound, left-hander Griffin Herring delivered another gem, holding the Cavaliers to just one earned run across six innings and striking out six. LSU’s bullpen — often a question mark early in the season — came up big again, with Javen Coleman and Thatcher Hurd slamming the door shut in the final frames.

 

LSU’s Omaha Swagger Is Back

 

With two straight wins and confidence surging, the Tigers are now in the driver’s seat of Bracket 2. They’ll await the winner of the elimination game between Virginia and North Carolina — two teams LSU has already handled — and will need just one more win to advance to the CWS Finals.

 

“2-0 in Omaha means we’re right where we’re supposed to be,” said Coach Johnson. “But we’re not satisfied. This group wants to bring another trophy home to Baton Rouge.”

 

It’s a familiar storyline for LSU, which has one of the richest traditions in college baseball. From Skip Bertman’s legendary reign in the 1990s to Johnson’s modern revival, LSU has always been at its best when the lights shine the brightest — and Omaha has long felt like Death Valley North.

 

Key Stats Through 2 Games:

 

Record: 2-0 in College World Series

 

Team Batting Average: .317

 

Team ERA: 2.50

 

Home Runs: 4

 

Errors: 0 — perfect defense

 

Run Differential: +10

 

What’s Next?

 

LSU will next play on Wednesday night, facing the winner of Virginia-North Carolina in a rematch. If the Tigers win, they move on to the best-of-three CWS Finals, where they would potentially face powerhouse contenders like Tennessee, Texas A&M, or Florida State.

 

If they lose Wednesday, they’ll still have another chance in a do-or-die game on Friday — but based on their current form, that looks unlikely.

 

Fan Reactions Pouring In:

 

Tiger Nation is already buzzing, with #LSU2and0 trending on X (formerly Twitter) and thousands of fans making their way to Omaha’s Charles Schwab Field in what feels like a second home crowd for the purple and gold.

“Tommy White is HIM. Guidry is a DAWG. This team is different.”  @BayouBengals2025

Final Word: The Hunt Continues

 

LSU Baseball is on a mission — and right now, no team looks more complete, more dangerous, or more confident. Pitching is sharp, bats are booming, and the Tigers are playing with the swagger of a champion.

 

They are 2-0 in Omaha.

They are locked in.

They are coming for the crown. 😤

 

Stay tuned. The Tigers are just getting started.
