The 2025 College Baseball World Series rolled along on Monday with a pair of Bracket 2 games in Omaha. In the opening matchup, Arkansas defeated Murray State 3-0 in an elimination game behind a no-hitter by Gage Wood to keep its title hopes intact.

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.

UCLA baseball prepares for a moment of opportunity at the College World Series. The Bruins, after beating Murray State, face LSU with a chance to move to the semifinals. A win over LSU gives UCLA a strong chance to reach the CWS finals and play a three-game series for the national championship.

The second day of the 2025 College World Series saw the four teams in Bracket 2 take their first step towards advancing to the Finals. This came after Coastal Carolina and Oregon State took a major step forward on opening day while Arizona and Louisville were sent to the brink of elimination.
