Best College Baseball Game...Ever.

Yeah, I'd say so.

But only because we won.

Last night, LSU beat Texas to take a 1-0 lead in the College World Series Finals. But not only that, it was the best baseball game that I've ever seen. Seriously. The teams combined for a CWS record 8 solo Home Runs, as well as a great comeback from two runs down in the top of the 9th by LSU to tie up the game. Last night's game was also the longest game in terms of innings and time in College World Series history. Matty "Matty Ice" Ott, D.J. LeMahieu and Mikie Mahtook played the lights out and were the main reasons the Tigers were able to pull out the win. The freshman Mahtook was even responsible for the game-winning single in the top of the 11th...even after striking out his first three times at bat. Jared Mitchell had a great game, so did Chad Jones from the mound. The game just went back-and-fourth all night and anyone that watched it would say that it was one of the best [if not the best] games they've ever seen.

Unless they're a Texas fan of course.

LSU can clinch their 6th National Championship by winning tomorrow night in Omaha. And don't bet against em.
