LSU baseball beats Florida in Game 1 of College World Series final on Cade Beloso home run
OMAHA, Neb. – After tearing his ACL and meniscus on Opening Day last season, Cade Beloso came back to LSU baseball for one more chance.
One more chance to hear the roar of the LSU crowd. One more chance to step into the box at The Box. One more chance to win a national championship.
Beloso accomplished those first two objectives back in February. Because of one swing of the bat on Saturday night, he's now one win away from checking off that final box on his list.
LSU is one win away from a national championship. The Tigers (53-16) are at that point after defeating Florida 4-3 in the first of a best-of-three 2023 College World Series final.
LSU starting pitcher Ty Floyd had his best performance of the season, striking out 17 batters in eight innings pitched — setting a single-game record for strikeouts in a CWS final series. He was replaced by Cooper, who threw three shutout innings in relief.
Game 2 of the series, the potential title clincher for the Tigers, is slated for 2 p.m. CST Sunday and is scheduled to be televised on ESPN.
