YEAR OF THE TIGER: Reactions as LSU baseball wins the 7th national championship in program history
For the seventh time in program history, the LSU Tigers baseball team is the College World Series champion.
Coach Jay Johnson’s team responded as well as he could have hoped after allowing a CWS-record 24 runs in a Game 2 loss to Florida, shelling the Gators in Game 3 en route to a dominating 18-4 win to seal the national championship.
Thatcher Hurd pitched a gem on the mound as the Tigers didn’t even ultimately need Paul Skenes, and Tre Morgan, Brayden Jobert, Dylan Crews and Tommy White all came in clutch on offense, recording three-plus hits each.
Here’s how LSU fans, athletes, alumni and media responded to the national title-clinching win.

Omaha, I don’t think the people in purple are just looking for Jell-O shots tonight. Batten down the hatches and buckle up. Whatever you’ve got behind the bar, it’ll all be gone soon enough.
