re: Where does that game rank in LSU and NCAA baseball history?

Up there with Irvine game 2

---

was at that game. my son had just flown in from Cali and it was his 1st lsu event ever. got good seats behind 1st base.

he was around 9 at the time. got a little hot for him so we go under the ole box concessions behind home plate. go into the mens room and there is a guy in there with the Irvine jersey on....older man.

Tell him briefly how well their team played the day before and that guy who pitched was just an absolute stud out there. he was very gracious and said, thats my son. i was like seriously, man you must be proud as hell. i said isn't he a twin? and as we're walking out he said yes, here's my other son, and he intorduces him to me. he had just got drafted and was going to Florida to report, and stopped in BR for the game. my son was chilling so i ended up watching the game with these 2 guys durig those last few innings of the comeback. during that time, talking about his son again that pitched the day prior, i said he's deaf right? remembered that on tv all day long when he was pitching. he said, yes, and he told us last night in the hotel room, even though he couldn't hear anything at all, he felt the crowd on his body all game long. said it was impressive.

side note....that lsu fan died of a heart attack right on the other side of the stadium as we were watching that game with this Irvine parent. I think LSU ended up sending the son to the CWS.

my all time personal favorite, that i saw in person, was the theriot winning run vs standford.......but that irvine game and this game rank up there as greats.
