      LSU crushes Texas, wins CWS

      June 25, 2009 /

      It’s been nine years since LSU won a title, but that drought ended on Wednesday night when the Tigers crushed Texas 11-4 in the deciding game of the 2009 College World Series.

      Tigers’ outfielder Jared Mitchell, who was also selected in the first round of this year’s MLB draft by the White Sox, hit a three-run dinger in the first inning and was named CWS Most Outstanding Player with his .348 batting average, two home runs and seven RBIs.

      Mitchell’s blast gave LSU a 4-0 lead, but Texas chipped away and eventually tied the game in the fifth thanks to a Kevin Keyes 2-run homer. But the Tigers added five more runs in the sixth, one in the eighth and one in the ninth to cruise to their sixth CWS title.

      LSU has now won the title in each of its six appearances in the CWS championship round.

      Jungmann, Texas beat LSU to tie CWS

      June 24, 2009 /

      Taylor Jungmann took it upon himself to ensure that Texas wasn’t going to lose the 2009 College World Series to LSU in two games. Jungmann threw his first complete game of his collegiate career, allowing just one unearned run on five hits to improve to 3-0 in the CWS. He also struck out nine.

      Offensively, Russell Moldenhauer led the Longhorns with a third inning solo blast to put Texas up 3-1. He entered the CWS without a dinger, but he’s now tied a record for homers in a single CWS with four.

      In 15 CWS appearances, this was the first time LSU has lost in the championship round in school history. Texas became the fourth team to force a deciding game in the seven years of the best-of-three CWS finals, with the last two teams also winning Game 3 (Oregon State in 2006, Fresno State in 2008.)

      The deciding game will be tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET.
