LSU wins the NCAA College World Series on Wednesday versus the Texas Longhorns with an 11-4 victory at Rosenblatt Field in Omaha. This is the sixth National Championship for the Tigers.
Tigers rightfielder Jared Mitchell hit a three-run homer in the first inning to help LSU build a 4-0 lead. Texas pulled even in the 5th when Kevin Keyes would lace a 2-run homer over the left centerfield wall tying the game at 4.
Mikie Mahtook's tie-breaking double got the tigers going again as they would add two more, 6-4, Tigers and they would add 3 more to stretch the lead out to 5. The longhorns would not add anymore runs thanks to the efforts of reliever Chad Jones and Louis Coleman.
Anthony Ranaudo (12-3) earned the win. He would allow four runs on eight hits and five walks in 5 1-3 innings. Brandon Workman took the loss and finished at 3 and 5.

The Spurs made a trade on Tuesday that could help them get back to the winners circle. But, what's it all about. They gave up their defensive stopper, Greg Bowen, to get Richard Jefferson, who is not just a good defender, but a scorer who averages about 18 a game. Could be trouble for the Rockets!
