I’m Colleen Crain and this Louisiana Radio Network sportscast is brought to you by the Louisiana Department of Health, when gambling is more than a game, no one wins…
Stunning outcome at Alex Box Stadium last night as LSU loses for the first time to a four-seed in a Regional where they are the host school. Little Rock who beat Dallas Baptist earlier in the day on Sunday, defeated the Tigers ten to four last night to force a seventh and deciding game of the regional. Coach Jay Johnson’s team walked 11 Little Rock hitters and the Tigers left ten men on base…
Little Rock has now won three straight elimination games and eight of of their last nine. Tonight’s Baton Rouge Regional Championship game is at 8 PM

If LSU advances to the Super Regionals they will host West Virginia. The Mountaineers won the Clemson Regional, going 3-and-0. They were the two seed in the Clemson Regional and won their first game four to three over Kentucky. They crushed Clemson 16-to-4 on Saturday night and then last night rallied from six runs down to beat Kentucky 13 to 12.
Five of the top 16 seeds have already been eliminated from the NCAA tournament, including the top two seeds, Vanderbilt and Texas. The Commodores went 1-2 in the Nashville Regional and UTSA won the Austin Regional, beating the Longhorns seven to four.
LSU-Shreveport is back in Louisiana after completing a perfect 59-0 season by winning the NAIA World Series, defeating Southeastern University from Lakeland, Florida 13 to 7. LSU-S becomes the first college baseball team in history to go undefeated.
Mississippi State has made a huge hire for its new baseball coach. Brian O’ Connor is leaving Virginia for Starkville. O’Connor led the Cavaliers to a national championship in 2015 and took the Cavs to the College World Series seven times.
