In a heavyweight bout between the only two teams to hold the No. 1 ranking this season, Wake Forest got the better of LSU 3-2 in the winner’s bracket game.
Wake Forest is now 2-0 and Omaha and will have Tuesday off. The Tigers, meanwhile, are 1-1 and are playing for their lives from here on out. LSU will play Tennessee tomorrow at 6:00.
Ty Floyd had maybe the best start of his LSU career considering the stage and the opponent he was facing. He was nearly flawless through five innings where he struck out 10 versus only two walks and surrendered a pair of hits.
