I’M FLETCHER MACKEL AND THIS WEEKEND IT WAS MOTHER NATURE. ONE COLLEGE BASEBALL ZERO ON BOTH DAYS. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE NCAA BASEBALL PLAYOFFS IN BATON ROUGE DEALING WITH MAJOR WEATHER DELAYS ON SATURDAY AFTER A FIVE HOUR STOPPAGE DUE TO LIGHTNING PLAY WAS POSTPONED UNTIL SUNDAY. THEN ON SUNDAY, THE DRIVER SEAT WINNER BRACKET GAME BETWEEN LSU IN OREGON STATE. THEY HAD TO WAIT OUT A THREE HOUR WEATHER DELAY, TAKE A LOOK. SHARP ON THE FIELD, BUT ONCE THINGS GOT GOING IN, THE WEATHER GOT NICE ENOUGH TO PLAY BASEBALL. IT WAS LSU DOWN. OREGON STATE CAME OUT SWINGING. BUT THIS GUY CAN SWING AT THE BAT SPEED. UNBELIEVABLE. THAT IS DYLAN CRUZ, THE ALL-AMERICAN AND MAY BE THE BEST HITTER IN THE COUNTRY. IT’S A TWO RUN HOMER. THE TIGERS ARE WITHIN ONE. THIS HOME RUN TIES THE GAME. HAYDEN TREVINO, ONE OF THE BIGGEST BOMBS YOU’LL SEE THIS SEASON. HE HITS IT OUT OF THE STADIUM. LSU HIT FIVE HOME RUNS IN THIS GAME INCLUDING BACK TO BACK BOLTS FROM TREVINO IN CADE BOLO. SO LSU ALSO GOT SOME AWESOME PITCHING ON SUNDAY FROM THATCHER HURD HE COMES IN AFTER THE RAIN DELAY FOR STARTER TY FLOYD HE GOES FIVE STRONG INNINGS HE STRIKES OUT 12. THE GAME THOUGH TIED AT FIVE IN THE EIGHTH UNTIL SLIDELL BRADEN JOBA STEPS UP AND HITS THIS ONE DEEP AND I MEAN DEEP INTO THE NIGHT IN ABSOLUTE THRILLER ON SUNDAY EVENING IN BATON ROUGE THE TIGERS WIN THE FINAL SCORE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 6 TO 5 LSU IS NOW IN MONDAY. TODAY’S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. LET’S HEAR FROM THE COACH LAST NIGHT ABOUT THE BIG WIN OVER OREGON STATE. THATCHER CAME OUT AND GAVE US A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE. 12 STRIKEOUTS IS THE BEST PITCHER IN THE COUNTRY TONIGHT AND GREAT POISE BY GAVIN AT THE END. PROUD OF THE HITTERS, THE FIRST COUPLE INNINGS WE REALLY DID EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED TO DO OTHER THAN FINISH THE INNING OFF WITH ONE MORE QUALITY AT BAT. STAYED WITH IT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF UNIQUE GUYS WE SAW OUT OF THE BULLPEN, BUT WE DID WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO AGAINST EACH GUY AND GOT THE SWINGS THAT WE NEEDED AND WE’LL HAVE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF LSU’S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME COMING UP LATER TODAY IN ALL NEWSCAST AT 4 OR 5 AND 6:00. IF LSU WINS TODAY, THEY’LL HOST A BEST TWO OF THREE SUPER REGIONAL THIS WEEKEND. WE’LL TAL
