1. 1996 - Warren Morris walkoff HR against Miami to win CWS(obviously)
2. 2000 - Brad Cresse walkoff single against Stanford to win CWS
3. 2009 - DJ Lemahieu 2 run double w 2 outs in the 9th to send game 1 of finals to extras
4. 1993 - Todd Walker walkoff single against LBSU
5. 2023 - Tre Morgan saves the game vs Wake Forest
6. 2023 - Tommy White walkoff HR against Wake to send LSU to finals

So the way you organize these is by level of importance.

Morris HR is always first because if he makes the third out instead, we lose the game. That's the difference with the Cresse walk off because the game goes to extras if he's out. Plus Morris hit a HR vs a single.

Then we get to the Texas 09 game 1. If DJ makes the 3rd out, the likelihood is Texas is the 09 champs instead.

Same with Walker vs LBSU, but that game goes extras if he's out, so not as debilitating as the 3rd out by DJ which ends the game.

The Tre Morgan play has to trump the Tanks HR because if Morgan doesn't make the play, Tanks never hits the HR most likely.

These WF plays could be argued to move past Todd Walker on this list IF we go on to win the World Series. Then their significance gains in value obviously.

That guy with the burned up arm should have been knocked down.

Todd walker homer against a and m

That was glorious. But, I think it made it a 5 run game instead of 1 run lead.

Tre Morgan play on the squeeze needs attention.
I probably watched the replay of that one 10x as many as the Tanks HR from last night. Hoping I can that picture framed to put next to the championship front page newspaper.

Man it is up there. I think the top 3 need to be for plays that clinch a CWS though.

That play ranks up there with the "The Flip" that Jeter had many years ago. It was freakishly good!
