Considering we have two walkoffs to win championships, no.
Great play though.

I dont think lowder tapped out. I think wake’s staff pulled him after close to a certain number of pitches each time, and they decided to continue to follow their strategy, gameflow be damned, and it bit them.
Also, snatcher hurd stealing lowders lunch makes it ten times better

He pitched seven innings and the game was scoreless through ten. I'm not sure I'd say it bit them. Wake Forest didn't stretch their starters the way LSU did, it was their style all year. They were going to turn to Minacci at some point regardless.

You talk about being on the edge of your seat for 11 innings watching some phenomenal baseball, from both teams.

I 100% believe it was the greatest play in LSU baseball history. Not only the importance of the play, but also the level of difficulty.
That game against Wake may have been the best baseball game I have ever watched (at any level).

I sat behind Wake's dugout for the Ty Floyd game when the umpire suddenly decided the strike zone would change mid way through.
The Wake Forest fans were worse than any fans I've ever dealt with in person. Absolute garbage humans.
My brother and I sat at a game in the WFU alumni section around 15 years ago. Everyone was talking (normal) trash but the moment things didn't go their way on the field, the guy behind him got freaked out and put him in a headlock. The next thing I know my brother is being thrown out of the game and almost arrested. Granted, my brother is a verbal instigator but in no way shape or form did it have to get physical.

Somehow it always plays out that way. Even in 2017 we had the much tougher side of the bracket then Florida did.
I remember the year we played Stanford, it seemed our bracket was much harder too. Here's that bracket and the CWS appearances at the time:
Stanford's Bracket-- Clemson (8 CWS) , University of Louisiana Lafayette (0 CWS), and San Jose State (0 CWS)...only 2 total CWS Titles in bracket---both won by Stanford
LSU's Bracket--Florida State (17 CWS), USC (19 CWS), and Texas (27 CWS)--20 Total CWS Titles

You ever walked to the plate in the bottom of the 9th down one with one runner on.base and two outs?
Not so easy.

watched it AGAIN.

Makes it that much more satisfying that LSU destroyed their dreams and can say they did it over the clearly best team other than themselves in baseball. WF and LSU were easily the 2 best teams that year and it honestly wasn't close.

I still think LSU/Miami 96 was a better overall game.
Maybe a more exciting game, but definitely not as well played of a baseball game.

Agreed, people forget how back and forth it was all day, then the ending is obviously puts it as the #1 seed

What made the 2023 game more “well played” than the 1996 game? One great play by Tre Morgan? Two pitchers dominated that game. Tre only was in the spot to make that play due to a strikeout that went to the back stop. That’s not a “well played” play. Do you know how many errors were made in the 1996 game? Was there big pitches made? Was there big hits?
The LSU-Miami game had several lead changes, with one team taking the lead in the top of the 9th only to have the winning team win it with a down to their last out walk off home run.

Thanks for posting this. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn't get to see most of it in real time due to coaching a game.

Sports are about entertainment.
The LSU/Miami game was more entertaining than LSU/Wake Forest.
Both were awesome games, but c'mon...
This is recency bias rearing its ugly head. I laughed when the day after we beat Wake, there were multiple threads making a case that Tank's HR was bigger than Morris'.
