LSU starter Paul Skenes & Wake Forest starter Rhett Lowder pitched absolute masterpieces.
Skenes went eight innings giving up just two hits while striking out nine. Lowder went seven innings giving up three hits while fanning six.
The pitching duel between Rhett Lowder and Paul Skenes lived up to the hype.
