LSU Tigers beat Florida in Game 1; National championship in sight

The LSU Tigers are one win away from capturing another baseball national championship. Such results from Saturday’s 4-3 over the Florida Gators in Omaha.

Super senior Cade Beloso stole the spotlight on Saturday night, crushing a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning. The blast disrupted an offensive stalemate and propelled the LSU Tigers to a win in Game 1 of the Men’s College World Series Finals.

Beloso captured the spotlight in Omaha on Saturday, but starting pitcher Ty Floyd was the LSU Tigers’ best player. The junior right-hander tied an NCAA record by striking out 17 hitters inside nine innings.
