LSU had given up the most runs in CWS history the day before.
OMAHA, Neb. -- A day after it gave up the most runs ever in a College World Series game, LSU cranked up its offense and won its first national title since 2009 with an 18-4 victory over Florida on Monday night in the third and deciding game of the finals.
The Tigers wiped out an early 2-0 deficit with a six-run second inning against Jac Caglianone . The runs kept coming until they finished with the most in a title game since USC's 21-14 win over Arizona State in 1998. The 14-run margin was the largest ever in a final. Their 24 hits were most in a CWS game.Thatcher Hurd gave up Wyatt Langford's two-run homer in the first and then allowed no hits or runs while retiring 18 of the next 21 batters.

Three key transfers took LSU to a higher level. Skenes was the first college pitcher in 12 years with 200 strikeouts and could be the No. 1 pick in the amateur draft. Tommy White hit 24 homers and drove in a nation-leading 105 runs. Hurd was solid as a starter and reliever and matched his longest outing of the year in the title game.
"Oh my gosh, this is what I dreamed of since I was a freshman, holding this trophy," Crews said."We're champions, baby, bringing it back to LSU. It's been a long journey for us. We dealt with a lot of stuff. Just to finally say we're national champions ... I cannot wait to put another flag over the field. It's going to be awesome."
