LSU in the CWS
OMAHA, Neb. — By the numbers — useless trivia division — for LSU over the years in the College World Series:
3 Most LSU losses to one team in Omaha — a tie between Miami, Oklahoma State and North Carolina. The Tigers have never beaten the latter two.
4 Number of times Georgia has been in Omaha the same years as LSU, but has never played the Tigers here, the most of any school. Clemson is second with three.
4 Times LSU has beaten Florida in the CWS (against no losses). That’s the opponent LSU has beaten the most.
