OMAHA, Neb. -- A day after it gave up the most runs ever in a Men's College World Series game, LSU cranked up its offense and won its first national title since 2009 with an 18-4 victory over Florida on Monday night in the third and deciding game of the finals.
LSU (54-17) staved off elimination three times in bracket play and bounced back from the humiliating 24-4 loss in Game 2 to claim its seventh championship, second in Division I history to USC's 12.
"Right people, right place, right time," Tigers coach Jay Johnson said.
