LSU departs the College World Series in Grand Fashion

The dream ride for LSU's baseball team came to a sudden and dramatic conclusion last evening at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha. I'll spare you the gory video, which I'm sure is already on YouTube. Basically, LSU gave up a game-winning grand slam with two outs in the top of the ninth to lose 7-3.

Major kudos to Coach Mainieri as the Tigers exceeded all expectations with a tremendous run through a good SEC. It certainly appears that the program is headed back in the right direction as the hand-picked previous coach Smoke Laval was unable to continue the success of legendary Skip Bertman. While last night's game is certainly disappointing, the future looks quite bright in Baton Rouge.

Congrats to the Tigers on a terrific season.
