In the opening game of the Baton Rouge Super Regional, LSU defeated West Virginia 16-9, with Steven Milam and Josh Pearson each hitting grand slams. Derek Curiel contributed significantly with five RBIs, including a three-run homer and an RBI single, as LSU capitalized on eight walks and one error. LSU’s Kade Anderson earned the win despite allowing seven runs, and with this victory, LSU (47-15) is one win away from reaching the College World Series for the second time in three years, while West Virginia (44-15) seeks redemption after last year’s loss in their first super regional appearance.
