LSU Defeats West Virginia Twice in NCAA Baseball Super Regional

West Virginia's baseball season ended following a disappointing loss to LSU in the NCAA Super Regional, with LSU winning the series in two games and advancing to the College World Series. Despite West Virginia's strong offense, their bullpen struggles and defensive errors allowed LSU to capitalize and dominate both games. The Mountaineers set a program record with 44 wins, secured the Big 12 regular-season title, and made their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, marking a historic run under first-year head coach Steve Sabins. LSU, the national favorite with strong odds of winning the College World Series, showcased dominant pitching performances to secure their spot in Omaha, where they will face Arkansas. Prior to the series, experts widely favored LSU over West Virginia, citing the Mountaineers' recent struggles and LSU's status as a top seed. While West Virginia was viewed as a heavy underdog, their season's success remains notable despite falling short in the Super Regional.
