OMAHA — The final pitch streaked toward home plate at 100 mph. A major-league conclusion to the College World Series. Another hot CWS during an Omaha June featured some extra sizzle on the mound. It might be the new prerequisite for national-title contenders. The Greatest Show on Dirt has seen triple-digit fastballs before. Texas A&M reliever Chris Cortez hit the mark last year. A few starters threw 101 in 2023 including current MLB pitchers Paul Skenes and Chase Burns.

OMAHA — The gold jerseys flashed in the afternoon Omaha sun as they piled up on the infield. LSU is king of college baseball again. The Tigers captured their second national title in three seasons with a 5-3 victory over Coastal Carolina on Sunday that featured all the qualities that make them a standard in the sport. Star bats fueling a big inning. Star arms collecting outs, led by Anthony Eyanson pitching into the late innings. It added up to LSU geauxing the distance.

OMAHA — Kade Anderson wasn’t perfect. But he was more than good enough to prove Coastal Carolina mortal and move LSU within a game of the ultimate prize. The Tiger left-hander fired a three-hit shutout Saturday night, growing stronger as the sun set in a 1-0 win to open the best-of-three College World Series championship round. LSU needed every bit of the effort to deal the Chanticleers their first loss since late April in a showdown that remained in doubt to the end.

Another Nebraska baseball player is heading to the transfer portal — this time while on a summer-ball assignment. Right-hander TJ Coats will continue his college career elsewhere after announcing his intention on social media Saturday. The former junior college hurler spent one season with the Huskers while logging 11 1/3 innings and a 7.15 earned-run average. He has two years of eligibility remaining. Coats had been one of four Nebraska players sent to the Cape Cod League this summer.
