Some Arizona fans will likely never forgive Jay Johnson for skipping out on his team for LSU almost immediately after the 2021 season ended in Omaha. Maybe now they’ll at least understand why.
The former UA baseball coach won a national title on his third try on Monday night, with LSU crushing Florida 18-4 to take the College World Series championship series in three games. The victory came a day after the Tigers lost 24-3 to the Gators to tie the series.
It was LSU’s seventh title and first since 2009, when Johnson was still an assistant coach at San Diego.
