Regional Central | Live Stats scoreboard
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Zach Shields had two hits and Whitman Barnes tossed four innings of shutout relief, but UNCW fell in the Baton Rouge Regional final to top-ranked LSU, 2-0, at Alex Box Stadium on Monday.

The Tigers advance to the Super Regional with a 51-10 record while the Seahawks saw their season come to an end with a 41-18 mark. LSU will host UL Lafayette next weekend.

LSU starter Jared Poche' (8-1) held the Seahawks to no runs on six hits and a walk over 8.2 innings and Parker Bugg recorded the final out for his third save of the season.

UNCW starter Justin Crump (1-2) took the loss after allowing a pair of unearned runs on four hits over two innings. Barnes limited the Tigers to three hits and a walk over four innings before Jared Gesell finished off the game with two innings of one-hit relief.
 
Shields led the UNCW lineup with his two hits and ended the season as the team's leading hitter with a .355 batting average.

Jake Fraley had three hits while Mark Laird and Chris Chinea added two hits apiece for the Tigers.

Ryan Foster (P), Gavin Stupienski (C), Zach Shields (OF) and Luke Dunlap (DH) were named to the All-Regional team for the Seahawks. Rounding out the team were Chris Chinea (LSU), Mike Garzillo (Lehigh), Connor Hale (LSU), Stephan Alemais (Tulane), Andrew Stevenson (LSU) and Richard Carthon (Tulane). LSU's Alex Lange also made the team and was named the regional's Most Outstanding Player.

How it happened: The Tigers struck for a pair of unearned runs in the second inning to take the lead. After UNCW turned a double play, the Seahawks committed an error and Chinea followed with a RBI down the leftfield line. Fraley followed and plated Chinea with a single to center.
