Texas and LSU battling it out
What a game!
After 10 innings in Game 1 of the Championship Round of the College World Series (that’s a mouthful!), LSU and Texas are still battling it out in what is looking like a classic battle of two titans. The game is knotted up 6-6.
Five solo homers by Texas looked to be the headline going into the top of the 9th, when LSU’s 2nd baseman D.J. Lemahieu hit a two run double with two outs, tying the game and eventually sending it into extra innings.
Texas junior designated hitter Russell Moldenhauer has two solo homers in the game, and the seven solo homers between both teams is a new CWS record.
And already the game, now in the 11th, is the longest game in College World Series finals history.
The Tigers are threatening in the top of the 11th, with men on first and third, but there are two outs. Both runners reached by walks.
The thing both coaches have to watch out for is burning through too many pitchers… this is only game one of a best two out of three series.
OK, I’m going back to the game. It’s on ESPN, so turn it on!
