If there were only two words you needed to sum up LSU’s 4-1 win over Arkansas in its College World Series opening game, those two words would do the job. Anderson pitched seven dominant innings, limiting Arkansas to just three hits and one run and LSU is on to Monday night’s winner’s bracket game against UCLA.

The College World Series is officially underway, and the energy is palpable here in Omaha. Eager fans taking over the town as the dream to hoist *** national championship trophy remains for just 8 teams.
