I didn't see the story, but 100% this have to be about that day. LSU went to Omaha in 1986 and 1987, but it was 1989 that really cemented LSU as a constant threat to win it all.
LSU lost Game 2 of the regional, and was in the loser's bracket. By the time they faced A&M in the Finals, we had to beat them twice. Considering that A&M was something like 54-5, and had only lost 1 game at home all year (I think), the chances for the Tigers didn't look good. Of course, we had Skip Bertman and Ben McDonald, and they didn't.

that A&M team was by far the best team in the country heading into that Sunday. They were 58-5 at the start of the day and had been #1 since early in the season.
it's still to this day a black day for diehard A&M fans. I have an aggie friend who recalls the date "May 27, 1989.... sigh." every time we get on the topic of A&M-LSU baseball.
