Lange and Gilbert the past two games are among the best pitching performances in the CWS I recall in LSU history. Obviously the opponent plays a part in that but each starter only gave up 2 hits and 1 run apiece to get to the finals..

Where do these pitching performances rank for y'all in LSU CWS history?

In mid 20s so there's probably performances in the early 90s that I don't have perspective on, reason for asking

Mah nicca. So glad you're enjoying this ride. Most of us here have gotten to enjoy it in our 20s. This will stick with you forever.

I don't know where to rank these 2 performances, both were outstanding by Lange and Gilbert but #1 for me is Brett Laxton in the 1993 final against Wichita St.

This is #1 and it isn't even close.

the bullpen in game 1 of the 2009 title series

Coleman had an absolute shite game... giving up 5 solo homers

but Chad Jones and Paul Bertuccini kept the Longhorns off the board long enough for LSU to tie it in the top of the 9th... then Matty Ott threw 3 scoreless innings to pick up the win in the Tigers 7-6 win

Laxton with 16 K's as a freshman is beyond epic, ammittedely after a little research, where do these past two starts rank though in LSU CWS history? Right behind or farther down?

Chad Ogea, Paul Byrd, Patrick Coogan and Doug Thompson were pretty special but the last two days have been simply amazing.

I guess for me there was no way to predict the Gilbert outing and Lange was always capable of what he did Friday but it was still shockingly good.

Btw: sorry to long time fans but to this point Hess has the greatest CWS stat line of LSU closers..4 down (I know only 3 official saves) and 2 to go!!!

Would these rank among the goats if LSU finishes the job?
