The Possum is Roadkill

Not a happy ending, but what a great story.

The Rally Possum died the way he lived, rallying. LSU fell behind in the first inning in Game 2 of the Supers, and then spent the entire game trying to narrow the gap. Chances came and chances went, with LSU eventually squandering several golden opportunities in the final three frames.

But before LSU's unreliable bullpen reliably imploded to let in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth, let the record show that LSU did rally to tie the game. Kramer Robertson literally went down swinging.

However, in the end, a team can't leave eight runners on in the final three innings of a one-run game and reasonably expect to win.
