Live Updates: LSU Baseball vs. Coastal Carolina in Game 2 of National Title Series

Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers are back at Charles Schwab Field for Game 2 of the College World Series Finals with a matchup against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers set.

After capturing a Game 1 win over the Chanticleers on Saturday, the Tigers are now one win away from hoisting the National Championship trophy in Omaha.

LSU ace Kade Anderson paved the way for the Tigers on Saturday night behind a historic performance on the mound.

Anderson (12-1) fired his second complete-game shutout of the season, as he also accomplished the feat at Oklahoma on April 4.

He limited Coastal Carolina to just three hits while recording five walks and 10 strikeouts over 130 pitches.

“I was just really focusing on the next pitch throughout the night,” Anderson said. “It wasn’t pretty, but got the job done. Just putting the team in a situation to win was my goal. Sometimes with the staff we have, all you need is one run. And Coach (Jay) Johnson prepares us to be one-run ready.”

Here's what LSU head coach Jay Johnson said prior to the matchup, the starting lineups, pregame notes, and a live thread from Sunday in Omaha:

Jay Johnson's Take:

"I would coach this team forever, and obviously the talent on it is exceptional. But, they’re also great people that completely bought into the mission of the team. And tremendous self-discipline, tremendous mental strength to go along with that talent. And very worthy of playing in the championship series.”

The Starting Lineups:

LSU Tigers	Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
LF Derek Curiel	C Caden Bodine
DH Ethan Frey	LF Sebastian Alexander
SS Steven Milam	2B Blake Barthol
RF Jake Brown	3B Walker Mitchell

C Luis Hernandez	1B Colby Thorndyke
CF Chris Stanfield	DH Dean Mihos
