I haven't found footage yet, but here's a recap:

LSU cruised by Long Beach State in its opening game of the College World Series, setting up a premier matchup with top-seeded Texas A&M. The Aggies jumped out to an early 7-2 lead.

However, the Tigers erased the deficit and grabbed a lead of their own capped by Armando Rios' RBI single in the eighth. LSU held a 9-8 advantage in the frame when Walker stepped to the plate with the bases loaded against A&M ace reliever Chris Clemons.

Walker, who was still looking for his first hit of the CWS, launched perhaps the most memorable homer of the tournament with a grand slam that carried beyond the left-center field wall to give the Tigers the lead for good at 13-8.

As he rounded the bases and touched third, he pointed to the stands to his father, which remains a moment Walker says he will never forget.

"It was one of the biggest moments for me," Walker said. "My dad doesn't really get into a lot of sports, so to see him react like he did was special."

Thanks for the info - that is awesome. For some reason I thought that had happened in a College Station Regional.

Isnt there a run LSU made to the NC that started by upsetting A&M at the College station Regional?

Or am I just mixed up.
