LSU Trounces Texas to Capture CWS

OMAHA, Neb. — It’s finally settled. LSU truly deserves to be No. 1.

The Tigers, ranked No. 1 in the country as voted by the national polls, squandered an early lead but recovered impressively to beat No. 1 tournament seed Texas 11-4 and win the College World Series Wednesday night. LSU used a five-run sixth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and roll to its sixth national title — and first since 2000 — in Game 3 of the best-of-three national championship series.

A Rosenblatt Stadium crowd of 19,986 was treated to an entertaining showdown between two of college baseball’s most storied programs. The Longhorns, the fourth team in the seven-year history of the CWS finals to force a deciding game after losing Game 1, was looking to become the first No. 1 seed to win the tournament since Miami in 1999.

No dice.

LSU downs Arkansas again to reach CWS Finals

From Fanhouse

Beating LSU twice is not easy. Just ask Arkansas.

LSU became the first team to advance into next week’s best-of-three national championship series by eliminating Arkansas, 14-5, Friday in the College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium. Not even a two-hour, 30-minute rain delay could save the Razorbacks from the inevitable as they fell to their SEC rival for the second consecutive time at the CWS and fourth time this season.

Sort of a slow sports day

It’s in-between football and baseball season. It’s what I call the “dead zone” in sports. Actually we have Nascar just starting up so all is not lost..but with only one race in (Daytona) it still sort of feels like the dead zone, so here we go with a video showing some extremely creative LSU fans. Geaux Tigers!
