Cassidy, Kennedy Introduce Resolutions Celebrating LSU Shreveport, LSU Baseball National Championships

U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) and John Kennedy (R-LA) introduced two resolutions recognizing the Louisiana State University Shreveport (LSUS) Pilots and the Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers baseball teams for winning their respective 2025 national championships. The LSUS Pilots secured the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Baseball National Championship and made collegiate baseball history by completing a perfect 59-0 season. The LSU Tigers won the 2025 NCAA Division I College World Series, claiming their eighth national title, the second-most in NCAA history.

“It’s hard to have a better year for baseball in Louisiana than this,” said Dr. Cassidy, an LSU alumnus. “The LSU Shreveport Pilots made history, doing something no college team has ever done before: going a perfect 59-0. And a huge congratulations to the LSU Tigers on fighting their way to another national championship up in Omaha. These young men and their coaches earned every single win and made our entire state proud. Geaux Pilots and Geaux Tigers!”

“The LSU Shreveport Pilots are what ‘cool’ looks like. This baseball team capped off an undefeated season and the longest win streak in college baseball history with an NAIA championship. That’s an achievement that deserves Senate recognition. Geaux Pilots!” said Senator Kennedy.

“The LSU Tigers proved once again that they are NCAA baseball’s gold standard, delivering an undefeated run in Omaha and bringing yet another national title home to Louisiana. I’m proud to help introduce this resolution recognizing their hard work and congratulating Coach Jay Johnson and this impressive team on a job well done,” continued Senator Kennedy.

The resolutions honor both head coaches, Brad Neffendorf of LSUS and Jay Johnson of LSU, for leading their teams to national titles. The resolutions also recognize the individual achievements of standout players on both teams and celebrate the impact these championships have on LSU Shreveport, Louisiana State University, the cities of Shreveport and Baton Rouge, and the entire state of Louisiana.
