LSU is going back to the College World Series.
The Tigers swept Kentucky behind a 22-run weekend from the offense, a dominant outing from [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] on Saturday and a lockdown performance from the bullpen on Sunday.
The Tigers are 5-0 in the NCAA tournament with loads of momentum heading into Omaha. Whatever late-season slump ailed LSU down the stretch was shaken off.
Kentucky got on the board first, but LSU scored five runs in the first three innings to take control. Kentucky pitcher Mason Moore stifled the Tigers a bit mid-game, but LSU added some insurance later for an 8-3 final.
Here are five takeaways from LSU’s series-clinching win.
