Our predictions and picks for Day 4 of the 2025 College World Series, featuring Arkansas vs. Murray State and LSU vs. UCLA.
Murray State took a chance on a 33-year-old junior college assistant. Seven years later, Skirka has the Racers on the sport's biggest stage.
Sparked by a four-run fourth, the 15th-seeded Bruins hang on for a 6-4 win as the unseeded Racers chip away but come up short. UCLA faces No. 6 LSU on Monday.
The Bruins are two wins away from their first national championship appearance since 2013, but LSU stands in their way.
Murray State baseball is looking to become only the second No. 4 seed to ever win a College World Series championship. Racers begin CWS play June 14.
The Racers open play in Omaha on Saturday against UCLA, and their unlikely journey embodies the wonder of sports.
Arizona starter Smith Bailey held that 3-1 lead until the seventh inning, when Louisville led off with a Garret Pike double and bunt single from Neighbors. Bailey was relieved by Garrett Hicks, who allowed a sacrifice fly by Lucas Moore.
