Wake Forest's Lucas Costello makes a catch against LSU during the fourth inning in a baseball game at the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, Neb., Thursday, June 22, 2023.OMAHA, Neb. — Tommy White hit Camden Minacci's first pitch into the left-field seats for a two-run homer in the 11th inning, giving LSU a 2-0 walk-off victory over No. 1 national seed Wake Forest on Thursday night and clinching a spot in the College World Series finals.
LSU became the first team to hand Wake Forest consecutive losses this season. The Tigers had won 5-2 on Wednesday to set up a second bracket final. It was a fitting end to one of the most anticipated non-championship CWS games. LSU was the consensus No. 1 team in the major polls from the start of the season until May 8. Wake Forest was the consensus No. 1 the rest of the way. The teams split their first two games here this week.
Skenes allowed two hits and walked one before turning the game over to Thatcher Hurd to start the ninth, and his nine strikeouts made him the Southeastern Conference's single-season record holder. Skenes has 209 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings; previous record holder Ben McDonald had 202 in 152 1/3 for LSU in 1989.
