OMAHA, NE ― The second team will be packing its bags from Omaha on Day 4 of the 2025 Men’s College World Series after Arizona was eliminated from the first bracket. One other team will also secure its berth in the semifinals.
In the early game (2 p.m. ET), Murray State will take on Arkansas after the Racers lost to UCLA, 6-4, and Arkansas lost to LSU, 4-1.
In the late game (7 p.m. ET), LSU will face UCLA with a berth in the semifinals on the line.
Here are our predictions:
Arkansas vs. Murray State
Arkansas 7, Murray State 1
Murray State has been pesky all postseason long, but Arkansas might be a different beast. Gage Wood might have the best stuff on the Razorbacks’ staff and the team is likely motivated after a loss to LSU and Kade Anderson. However, Arkansas will have to avoid letting the previous disappointment
LSU vs. UCLA
LSU 6, UCLA 2
With how pitcher-friendly Charles Schwab Field has played, it’s difficult to bet against Anthony Eyanson, the Tigers’ co-ace. LSU has the ability to score runs in many different ways and its pitching is still fresh after a long start from Kade Anderson. Everything sets up well for LSU in this one.
