Tough, tough loss for the LSU Tigers last night in the College World Series as Wake Forest rallied back from a two to nothing deficit to beat the Bayou Bengals three to two. LSU failed to score with a runner at third base and no outs in the eighth inning, while the Demon Deacons pushed a run across in the bottom of the eighth and held on for the one run win. Tigers Coach Jay Johnson…
Cut 15 (09) “…go tomorrow.”
LSU plays Tennessee tonight at 6 PM in an elimination game. First baseman Tre Morgan says they’ll be ready….
Cut 16 (12) “…together.”
It’s unknown who will start on the mound for LSU. The Volunteers are expected to start Drew Beam. He was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season and this season he’s nine and four with a 3.78 ERA.

The critical play in last night’s three-two LSU loss to Wake Forest came in the eighth inning. A weak grounder was hit to Wake Forest star third baseman Brock Wilken who threw a one-hopper to Bennett Lee who tagged out Tre Morgan trying to score the go-ahead run. Morgan could have stayed at third, because there were no outs, but Coach Jay Johnson says Tre made the right decision
Cut 18 (22) “…that tonight.”
In the next half inning, Wake Forest scored and held on for the three to win.

So Wake Forest and Florida are one win away from reaching the championship series. Before the LSU-Tennessee elimination game, TCU and Oral Roberts will meet in another elimination game at 1 PM.
