Madison Prep Academy Coach Jeff Jones explains how sports can put people on a path to a wonderful life on 'Sunday Night in America.' The LSU Tigers won the College World Series championship after an 18-4 victory over the Florida Gators in Game 3 of the finals Monday night, claiming its first national title since 2009.
The victory came after Florida forced a third game with a record-setting 24-4 victory in Game 2. LSU gave up the most runs ever in a College World Series game in the contest.
The Tigers (54-17) bounced back from the lopsided score and staved off elimination three times during the tournament to claim its seventh championship.
They hold the second-most titles behind Southern California’s 12. LSU fell early in the contest with a 2-0 deficit but swiftly answered with a six-run second inning.
