Paul Skenes & girlfriend Olivia Dunne ecstatic after alum LSU Tigers win 8th College World Series title crushing Coastal Carolina

Glory returns to Baton Rouge with proud alums Paul Skenes and his girlfriend Olivia Dunne celebrating the LSU Tigers college baseball team triumph over Coastal Carolina in the College World Series to lift their eighth title.

The LSU Tigers defeated Coastal Carolina 5–3 in an intense championship game, rallying behind a dominant four-run fourth inning capped by key hits from Chris Stanfield and Derek Curiel.

Skenes, LSU’s ace turned Pittsburgh Pirates phenom and former College World Series MOP (2023), made time to watch the game taking place in Omaha thanks to MLB scheduling. Livvy Dunne, who is coming off her fifth and last year as a senior college gymnast, also tuned in despite being in New York.

Dunne posted a message on social media to celebrate the victory:

"Tigz are just like that," Dunne wrote.

Skenes also posted a screenshot of the graphic hailing the Tigers as the winners.
