Huge break-through for the program. They had Ben McDonald and other stars and they had the legend, Skip Bertman. Maybe they can win another historic series this weekend.

Pat Garrity with a big hit if I remember correctly, which is highly doubtful.

I remember that well. That was before the games were on television, but I was riveted to the radio listening to Jim Hawthorne.

They also beat them in a super regional in 2004.

I was there. My brother is an Aggie and we were there for the whole regional. Listened to the Aggies plan their trip to Omaha all week. When LSU won the LSU section (very small then, mostly family) were leaning over and the players were jumping up and giving us high fives. So cool. I got a cup of ice in the back of my neck from an Aggie fan, but didn’t care. I was so happy that night I couldn’t sleep. Probably my favorite LSU memory.

While it was a huge regional victory and major upset of #1 A&M, I wouldn’t call it a break-through for the program. LSU went to the college World Series in back to back years in 1986-1987, so it made the 3rd CWS appearance for Skip and the LSU baseball program.

I was 5 rows above the A&M dugout. There were frat guys witjh McDonalds Bags on there heads sitting a few rows down in front of me. Ben gave up a homer for the lead off hitter, after that he settled down for the rest of the game. Didn’t take long for those bags to come off their heads.

Maybe we should get Ben to talk to the team and fire them up.

This weekend is basically a super regional for us. Win 2/3 to keep hope alive.
