For the 5th time in 10 years, the LSU Tigers are the College World Series champions! 3 runs in the 8th; and the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth. I know most of y’all probably don’t care, but that’s okay. I’m just releasing a little enthusiasm. I can’t live vicariously through my kids (don’t have any), so I guess I really bond with my undergrad alma mater. GEAUX TIGERS! (yay!) ---

Just goes to show you there is never a substitute for good late-inning pitching. Not to take ANYTHING away from this year’s CWS winners. ---
