The Baton Rouge Super Regional has been a showcase of collegiate baseball excellence, bringing together two powerhouse programs vying for a spot in the 2025 College World Series. With LSU leading the series 1–0 after a commanding 16–9 victory in Game 1, all eyes are now on Game 2, scheduled for Sunday, June 8, at 6:00 PM ET at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
LSU, the No. 6 national seed, enters Game 2 with a 47–15 record. The Tigers’ offense has been formidable, highlighted by their 16-run outburst in Game 1. Chase Shores, a redshirt sophomore pitcher for LSU, has made a significant impact in the 2025 postseason after returning from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2024 season. Shores, a Legacy High School graduate and Baseball America’s 84th-best prospect for the July MLB draft, has excelled in a bullpen role, allowing only five hits in his last 9â…” innings. His recent performances have bolstered LSU’s pitching depth, complementing the team’s offensive prowess.
West Virginia, with a 44–15 record, aims to rebound after the Game 1 loss. The Mountaineers have demonstrated resilience throughout the season, including dramatic victories over Kentucky and Clemson in the regional round. Their ability to bounce back from setbacks will be crucial as they look to even the series and force a decisive Game 3.
The atmosphere at Alex Box Stadium is expected to be electric, with LSU’s home-field advantage and a passionate fan base providing strong support. The outcome of Game 2 will determine which team advances to the College World Series, adding to the high stakes and excitement surrounding the matchup.
As the teams prepare for this pivotal game, all eyes will be on Baton Rouge, where the quest for a College World Series berth continues.
