LSU was stunned in a 10-to-4 loss to four seeded Little Rock last night to force a final winner-take-all matchup tonight. The Tigers shut out the Trojans in their first meeting of the Baton Rouge regional Friday, but Little Rock battled back with a 22-run performance against Rhode Island Saturday, and an 8-to-6 victory over perennial mid-major powerhouse Dallas Baptist yesterday afternoon. LSU Coach Jay Johnson says the Trojans came to play…

Cut 13 (13)  “…performance by them.”

Little Rock is 27-and-33 on the season, but their recent form was more than enough to make the Tigers pay for some costly mistakes. 11 walks by the Tigers pitching staff and some timely hits by the Trojans were enough to put the game out of reach. First pitch in Alex Box is set for 8:00

The winner of tonight’s matchup between LSU and Little Rock will go on to face West Virginia upset Clemson in their own regional. The Mountaineers went 3-and-0 in Clemson and secured the Regional championship with a 13-to-12 comeback victory over Kentucky behind a six-run eighth inning.

Clemson is just one of five of the top 16 seeds so far who have been upset in their own Regional. Top two seeds Vanderbilt  and Texas fell to Wright State and UTSA. 7-seeded Georgia didn’t make it to the Athens Regional final, and 12-seeded Oregon failed to grab a single game in Eugene.

A celebration is being held today in downtown Shreveport for the LSU-Shreveport baseball team who completed a perfect 59-and-0 season with an NAIA World Series championship over Southeastern University out of Lakeland, Florida. The title is the first in program history and the unblemished season stands alone in college baseball history.
