"I think he's OK; it was scary," LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "He got hit right between the eyes. He seemed total in control of himself after the game. He was even in the team huddle. It seems as though we dodged a bullet there."

Bain received attention on the mound and left the game after a ball hit by Rice outfielder Charlie Warren struck him and caromed away for a base hit. Bain pitch 2/3 of an inning with a strikeout and allowed only the one hit.
