LSUS Baseball: Can the Undefeated Season End with a National Title?

The LSU-Shreveport Pilots have had a remarkable, record breaking season. I could dust off the old dictionary and just start rattling off synonyms for incredible and it still wouldn't accurately described the kind of season the Pilots have had.

54-0, at ANY level of baseball, is unheard of. Josh Gibson and company have been coming up big on their journey to 54 wins - their next stop is Lewiston, Idaho for the NAIA World Series.

NAIA World Series: Will LSUS Maintain Its Dominance?

After a historic regular season, the LSUS Pilots are returning to the NAIA World Series for the first time since 2022. Overall, the Pilots have made the World Series 6 times, but thus far, the Pilots have yet to "win the big one".

This year, the team just feels different. Obviously, you feel pretty good about a team that's undefeated and has been completely dominating the opposition for 54 straight games. But, beyond that, they've gotten some fantastic performances from Seniors like Vantrell Reed - who batted .401 with 59 RBIs & Josh Gibson - who batted .442 with 67 RBIs and 52 stolen bases. Whenever you have two guys hitting the ball like Ted Williams and swiping bags like Rickey Henderson, you know you got a pretty good shot at picking up a win.

LSU Shreveport's World Series Journey Starts Friday

The LSUS Pilots are the #1 seed for the NAIA tournament - which makes sense after a record breaking season. And their first game of the Double Elimination National Championship Tournament is Friday at 1:30 PM against the #10 seed Grand View Vikings.

Obviously, most of us can't take a trip up to Lewiston, Idaho to watch the games live. But, the Pilots typically stream their games on YouTube and on the occasions they can't, they do a fantastic job keeping us updated on Facebook.
