LSU and Coastal Carolina are two wins away from the national championship. One team will be a step closer after Saturday's first game of the College World Series finals, which pits the No. 6-seed Tigers and No. 13-seed Chanticleers against each other in what could be a pitcher's duel.

The Chanticleers were held off the board for the first time in 36 games, despite putting the tying run on base in five separate innings.
