The first grand slam at the College World Series since the event moved to TD Ameritrade Park capped off a five-run sixth inning that broke open the ballgame for Pat Casey’s Oregon State club in their 13-1 shellacking of the fourth-seeded LSU Tigers on Monday night.
Casey, in his 23rd season leading the Beavers, watched his team earn their second 23-game winning streak of the season — yes, that’s two 23-game winning streaks in the same season — to improve to 56-4 overall, halting LSU’s 17-game winning streak in the process.
“We played pretty good tonight,” Casey said, in an attempt to downplay the magnitude of the winning streaks.
