Not many gave the Tigers much of a chance in a must-win game against Wake Forest on Wednesday night, but LSU proved the doubters wrong by knocking off the top team in the country 5-2 to force a winner-take-all game for a spot in the College World Series final against Florida.
Despite a rough start from [autotag]Javen Coleman[/autotag], who allowed two early runs with four walks and lasted just 1.1 innings, it was a breakout performance from Griffin Herring.
Herring would toss 4.2 shutout innings before [autotag]Gavin Guidry[/autotag] and [autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag] finished things off. A three-run homer from [autotag]Cade Beloso[/autotag] in the third proved to make the difference.
Now, LSU will face Wake Forest again in what we expect to be a matchup between aces in [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag] and Rhett Lowder.
While we await what should be a thrilling game on Thursday night, here were the pictures from LSU’s big-time win.
