You almost knew it had to play out like this. When two teams dominate the College World Series tournament the way the LSU Tigers, and Texas Longhorns did, there was no chance one team or the other was going to sweep the best of three series. There just had to be a game three.
After letting LSU rally from two down in the ninth inning yesterday, the Longhorns made sure the controlled the game from beginning to end.
Texas scratched across the game???s first run thanks to small ball execution and a bit of porous defense from the Tigers. Third-baseman Michael Torres lead off the game with a four pitch walk, and advanced to second when catcher Micah Gibbs threw the ball away attempting to pick Torres off. Torres advanced to third on a Travis Tucker ground out, and was driven home on a Brandon Belt single.
Texas hit yet another solo home run in the top of the second, their sixth in the last two games, courtesy of Preston Clark, and the Longhorns took a 2-0 lead. LSU got a run back in the bottom of the inning thanks to singles by Jared Mitchell and Leon Landry, and an error by Brandon Loy.
