re: CWS: North Carolina 4, LSU 2 - Final - Tigers are eliminated

Stevenson has more hits than Bregman, McMullen, Rhymes, and Ibarra combined with a grand total of 1.

Ditto. Bet it's gonna turn out to be a great game.

Nice, no runs

Ibarra will lead off with extra base hit. The baseball Gods owe him. Big inning for LSU here.

WHY DID HE SWING AT A 3-1 PITCH!?!?!?!?!?

good job, we have them back under control pitching. just hit the damn ball!
