Sometimes the best laid plans do not go as planned. Oregon State was the number one ranked and seeded team coming into the College World Series. The Beavers had the pitching staff, confidence, and all-around talent to take home another College World Series National Championship. That’s why you play the games.
The LSU Tigers had a team that many experts thought could win the National Championship as well. The Tigers showed every part of that championship pedigree on Friday and Saturday.
With a 3-1 win on Friday, the Tigers got a third shot at the Beavers.
