PHOTOS: LSU sweeps Kentucky, punches ticket to Omaha with Game 2 win

LSU locked up a spot at the College World Series with an 8-3 win over the Wildcats in Sunday’s Game 2.

For the 19th time in program history — and the first since 2017 — LSU is heading to the College World Series in Omaha.

The Tigers took down Kentucky in a two-game sweep at the Baton Rouge Super Regional at Alex Box Stadium this weekend. After a 14-0 win on Saturday, the Tigers followed it up with an 8-3 win on Sunday to clinch a spot in the CWS.

It wasn’t the greatest outing from starter [autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag], but the bullpen pitched a shutout while [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] and [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] came up clutch with a three-run homer and two-RBI double, respectively.

Now, LSU will await the winner of the Hattiesburg Regional between Tennessee and Southern Mississippi in its first game at Omaha. That series is going to Game 3, and it will either pit LSU against an SEC foe or the team that knocked it out of the tournament last year.

In the meantime, here were the best photos from Sunday’s win.
