Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers are one win away from reaching the College World Series Finals for the second time in the last three seasons.

Behind an impressive outing from right-hander Casan Evans on Tuesday morning, the Tigers took down the UCLA Bruins to reach the College World Series semifinals.

The LSU-UCLA game was halted Monday night at 7:20 p.m. CT due to inclement weather with the Tigers holding a 5-3 lead, and approximately three hours later, the NCAA announced the game would resume at 10 a.m. CT Tuesday.

Evans (5-1) took the mound for LSU when the game resumed Tuesday at the top of the fourth inning.

He fired 4.1 innings, limiting the Bruins in two runs on four hits with no walks and five strikeouts, firing 68 pitches.

“I love the tempo that Casan set today,” Johnson said. “I thought he was outstanding, as he always is.”

Right-hander Chase Shores picked up his first save of the season for LSU, as he worked the final 1.1 innings and retired all four batters he faced.
