10 stats tell the story of LSU baseball's dominant super regional sweep of West Virginia

We saw LSU baseball at its best vs. West Virginia. The Tigers swept the Baton Rouge Super Regional to claim their spot in the College World Series.

On Saturday, LSU had two grand slams en route to scoring 16 runs. The offensive barrage continued on Sunday with LSU scoring 12 more runs.

LSU aces Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson weren't perfect, but they were good enough.

West Virginia made a couple of runs in Game 1 and Game 2, but every time, LSU responded to remain in control of the game. The offensive output kept pressure off LSU pitchers throughout the series.

For Jay Johnson and LSU, this marks the second trip to Omaha in three years. The Tigers won it all 2023, led by stars Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. LSU will kick off its College World Series journey vs. Arkansas later this week. Before we get there, here are 10 stats that tell the story of LSU baseball's super regional win.

1. LSU's lineup totaled 17 walks in the series. The free passes didn't stop there as West Virginia hit eight Tiger batters.
2. LSU only left five runners on base in Saturday's win. LSU was creating traffic on the base paths and cashing in.
3. LSU hit two grand slams in Saturday's 16-run outburst. Steven Milam hit the first, and Josh Pearson hit the second.
4. LSU scored 16 runs with just eight hits on Saturday. Thanks to all the walks and hit-by-pitches, LSU didn't need to string hits together. Free passes and timely hitting were enough.
5. LSU's offense only struck out 10 times in the Baton Rouge Super Regional. The bat-to-ball skills were elite over the weekend.
6. Cooper Williams and Chase Shores combined to allow just one run over four innings in relief of Anthony Eyanson. The Tigers need bullpen pieces to step up. Could Williams and Shores be the answer in Omaha?
7. Steven Milam reached base seven times in two games. Milam was slugging it with a homer on Saturday and two doubles on Sunday. He also walked four times in the series.
8. Derek Curiel is the spark for the offense, whether he's hitting leadoff or in the No. 7 hole. He combined to score six runs in Games 1 and 2.
9. West Virginia committed three errors on Sunday. The Mountaineers' defense wasn't at its best and LSU took advantage.
10. Jared Jones notched three hits on Sunday. LSU's slugger was struggling early in the postseason, but the slump may be over.
