LSU ends FSU’s season at College World Series

“He put the team on his shoulders and carried us to the promised land”. That said, Oregon State is averaging nine runs a game in the NCAA Tournament, with a low of six and a high of 13 against the aforementioned Tigers.

Oregon State entered the early game with a 23-game winning streak, including a 13-1 thrashing of Friday’s opponent, LSU, on Wednesday.

Both Oregon State baseball coach Pat Casey and the crew chief for the Beavers’ game against LSU could have requested a video review Friday on a pivotal play at the College World Series.

Pulling this off – Oregon State is being mentioned as one of the best college teams of all time – would be similar, and Mainieri planned to tell his team about that bit of LSU history.

“We gave it our best shot”. Obviously, a phenomenal ballgame to watch. “I’m alumni, so I just come in to see the games, support our team”.

“It’s a formidable opponent”, LSU coach Paul Mainieri said.

With the Seminoles down to their last out, Rhett Aplin, the designated hitter who had been out since May 7 with a broken foot, stepped in, took his first swings in almost two months and eventually worked a walk that kept hope alive in the FSU dugout. He also picked up his team’s other victory – making just his third collegiate relief appearance in the Tigers’ 5-4 result against the Seminoles on Saturday – after throwing 2-2/3 shutout frames. And they’re one win away from the College World Series Championship Series.

“Coach says the next game is the biggest game”. Yeah I think we’re probably just because you know when you get this point in the C people that you critique bent you’d done. Then it will be senior left-hander Jared Poche (12-3, 3.33 ERA) likely on Monday, a variety of arms on Tuesday.

– LSU Baseball (@LSUbaseball)Alex Lange and Zack Hess combined to fire LSU’s first two-hitter at the College World Series! “Unfortunately it wasn’t enough tonight”. The Beavers scored one run in the inning to cut LSU’s lead to 2-1 and left the bases loaded when Lange fanned KJ Harrison.

FSU starter Cole Sands (6-4) was charged with the loss as he surrendered five runs on four hits in 1.1 innings with no walks and no strikeouts. “Ours’ has been the last two games so we’re kind of used to that pressure now”, Robertson said. “First loss of the year”.

There is a saying that goes “All good things must come to an end”. Then Zach Watson, who was 3-for-3 on the day and is 8-for-16 for the CWS, ripped a single to put runners on the corners.

Cleanup batter Greg Deichmann hustled out a leadoff double and scored two batters later when Josh Smith delivered the second single in a row by a Tigers’ freshman. A Smith base hit up the middle plated Deichmann and Beau Jordan bunted home Watson for a 2-0 lead.

Lange ran into trouble in the third when he walked three batters and gave up a double. TV replays indicated it was a fair ball. The junior right-hander issued three free passes in the third, including a bases-loaded walk to Trevor Larnach that forced in Michael Gretler.

The Beavers went out in order in the sixth and seventh with Lange notching two more strikeouts.

When Hess snapped off an inside strike to get Tyler Malone looking for the final out, LSU’s dugout and the partisan crowd erupted.

That ball, which was called foul but was clearly fair, was hit by Oregon State centerfielder Steven Kwan with one out and two runners on in the third inning and LSU leading the Beavers 2-1. “This team and this community, it’s pretty special”.

“Anytime you pitch bad, you want to get back on the mound, and I feel like if I could get two pitches back today it would make a big difference”, Thompson said.
