CWS LIVE Thread: LSU vs. Florida

The 2023 College World Series finals between the LSU Tigers and Florida Gators begins on Saturday night in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Gators are the home team on Friday, with the Tigers tabbed as the home team for Saturday. If a third game is necessary, a coin flip following Game 2 will determine which team has home field advantage on Monday.

Florida cruised through the opening weekend in Omaha, while LSU is worked through the loser’s bracket to beat Tennessee, then Wake Forest twice. The Tigers are coming off a dramatic walk-off home run in extra innings to beat the Demon Deacons in one arguably of the best college baseball games in recent memory.

You can track the entire game and talk about it with fellow Tigers fan in tonight’s “CWS Live Thread” on The Bengal Tiger message board.
