Still 1-0 LSU thru 6. Coastal catches a break when a wild pickoff try to first base hits the ump and saves a base. Tigers follow with a single but strand runners at the corners.

Final: LSU 1, Coastal Carolina 0. Tigers star pitcher Kade Anderson fires a three-hit shutout to end the Chants' 26-game winning streak. He showed again while he's in the conversation as the top overall pick in next month's MLB draft. Teams meet again Sunday at 1.
