Baton Rouge Regional Day 3 Report: Minnesota and LSU Square Off for Spot in College Baseball Sweet 16


It was 1997 all over again on Sunday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium. Minnesota eliminated Baylor with a football esque score of 15-12. Baylor led early 5-2 and held the lead until Minnesota would score three in the 7th, five in the 8th, and five more in the 9th.
I dozed off for a few minutes at that point and woke up to a score of 15-11 with Baylor batting in the bottom of the 9th with nobody out and one runner on. Baylor would plate one more run, but the comeback would end there.
The Golden Gophers and the Tigers face off at 6:00pm later this evening, with Minnesota having to beat LSU twice to advance to the Super Regional round. An "if necessary" game is scheduled for Monday at 1:00pm. Considering most of us have to work tomorrow, here's to Louis Coleman sealing the deal for LSU tonight.
