re: Official LSU vs UCLA CWS Prediction Thread

LSU has a big 2 or 3 run first inning, then the bats go limp until after the stretch, when the Tigers have another big inning or two highlighted by a homer by one of the "base hit" guys (Rhymes, Ross, Stevenson,...someone you wouldn't expect to get it over the fence). Ibarra and Bregman both get 3 or 4 hits each, but JaCoCo and Katz are frustrated.

Nola pitches flawlessly until the 5th, when he tires and UCLA beats up on him and his reliever, getting all three of their runs that inning. Rumbelow, Fury, then Cotton pitch consecutive shutout innings to seal the come-from-behind win.

Final score: LSU 7, UCLA 3.
