re: Official "The Walk Off" Thread REPLAY 10:00 PM CT SECN

It should have been. 30 minutes does the story a pretty big disservice. I'm guessing they were just being lazy and knew LSU fans would eat it up no matter what

Didn't he have a couple of doubles in the huge inning against GT?

To the contrary, Warren made 2 of the outs in the 18 run inning vs Ga Tech

18 runs in one inning holy shite

Back in those days they had 6 team regionals and those things were a grind. Pitching depth was a big issue for the lesser teams sometimes...and even the better teams, for that matter. Usually the winner of the regional was the team that ran out of pitching last. Usually LSU was deep enough and had enough arms to withstand it. Even if you stayed in the winners bracket, you had to play 4 games in 4 days. If you hit the losers bracket, you needed 6 games and 5 wins in 4 days to win the regional. Brutal as hell. In the GA Tech game mentioned above, turns out GA Tech ran out of pitching in the 7th inning of game 1 on Sunday

LSU lead 10-7 going to the bottom of the 7th...then scored the 18 runs. I am looking for the box score, but I seem to recall GT needing 5 pitchers in the inning. Everything LSU hit found a hole. And there weren't many HR's....I remember a shite-ton of doubles though.

Here is the play-by-play of the inning...

-T. Lanier hit by pitch.
-W.Morris grounded out to 1b unassisted; T. Lanier advanced to second.
-J. Williams doubled to right center, RBI; T. Lanier scored.
-R. Thieme to p for S. McGill.
-M. Koerner walked.
-LJ Yankosky to p for R. Thieme.
-N. Dunn doubled to right center, 2 RBI; M. Koerner scored; J. Williams scored.
-E. Furniss walked. T. Bernhardt pinch ran for E. Furniss.
-B. Wilson singled to left field, RBI; T. Bernhardt advanced to second, N. Dunn scored.
-C. Cooley doubled to right center, 2 RBI; B. Wilson scored, T. Bernhardt scored.
-J. Bowles walked.
-T. Lanier doubled to right center, 2 RBI; J. Bowles scored; C. Cooley scored.
-K. Wilson to p for LJ Yankosky.
-W. Morris doubled down the lf line, RBI; T. Lanier scored.
-J. Williams singled to left field; W. Morris advanced to third.
-M. Koerner doubled to left field, RBI; J. Williams advanced to third; W. Morris scored.
-N. Dunn homered to right center, 3 RBI; M. Koerner scored; J. Williams scored.
-J. Moore pinch hit for T. Bernhardt. J. Moore doubled to right field.
-C. Cason to p for K. Wilson.
-B. Wilson doubled to left field, advanced to third on a fielding error by lf, RBI; J. Moore scored.
-B. Wilson scored on a wild pitch.
-C. Cooley walked.
-J. Bowles singled to shortstop, C. Cooley advanced to second.
-G. Duncan to p for C. Cason.
-T. Lanier homered to left field, 3 RBI; J. Bowles scored; C. Cooley scored.
-W. Morris flied out to lf.
-J. Williams hit by pitch.
-M. Koerner struck out.


18 runs, 13 hits, 1 error, 1 LOB.


-6 pitchers. 4 didn't record a single out.
-After Morris made the 1st out, 17 straight batters reached base.
-8 doubles in the inning is still an NCAA record, to the best of my knowledge.
-Lanier reached base 3 times in the inning. That isn't easy to do....

Amazing. 18 runs scored with only 1 out being recorded.

Agreed, especially that they gave the '85 Miss. State team that DIDN'T WIN the CWS (or even the SEC West that year) an hour and a half.

That one wasn't about the Ms. State baseball team that one was about two borderline hall of fame players in Major League Baseball that just happened to play on the same college team.

I wish it would have been longer but really outside of the LSU fan base nobody really cares. Thunder and lightning had cultural aspects to it like racial divides and steroid allegations. This one is specifically about that one hit. I thought it was very well done but they could have done a nice hour and a half special on skip at LSU with that story in there and said all the same info they said in the special.

There were more homeruns shown in that 30 minute clip then the past few CWS together. Back when pitchers got punished for leaving meat across the plate.
