The LSU Tigers have done it again! In a thrilling Game 1 of the College World Series Finals, the Tigers defeated the Florida Gators 4-3. The game was full of excitement and drama, but it was the 17-year-old Floyd Fans and freshman designated hitter Cade Beloso that made the difference.
Floyd Fans, a freshman pitcher from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was the star of the game. He pitched seven innings, allowing just three runs on five hits. He also struck out five batters and walked just one. His performance was so impressive that he was named the Most Outstanding Player of the game.
Beloso, a freshman designated hitter from New Orleans, Louisiana, provided the game-winning hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. With two outs and runners on first and second, Beloso hit a line drive home run over the left field wall to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead. It was his first home run of the season and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
The win was a huge moment for the LSU Tigers and their fans. It was their first College World Series Finals win since 2009 and it was made even sweeter by the performances of Floyd Fans and Beloso. The two freshmen played a major role in helping the Tigers to victory and they will be remembered for years to come.
The Tigers will now look to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-three series when they face off against the Gators in Game 2. With Floyd Fans and Beloso leading the way, the Tigers have a great chance of winning their sixth national championship.
