LSU's Ryan Schimpf (16) applauds from the dugout.

LSU added another run to take a 10-4 lead into the ninth.

Austin Nola led off the top of the eighth with an opposite-field double that trickled into foul ground down the right-field line. Nola moved to third after DJ LeMahieu bounced a line drive off the leg of Texas reliever Austin Wood to knock him out of the game.

Lefty Keith Shinaberry came in and gave up a sacrifice fly to Schimpf to put LSU in double figures. Blake Dean ended the inning by bouncing into a 3-6-1 double play.

Louis Coleman, who started for LSU on Monday night, came in after Jones pitched 1 2/3 innings of no-hit, scoreless ball.

Coleman, who gave up five solo homers against the Longhorns two nights ago, allowed a one-out double to Texas' Michael Torres. LSU third baseman Derek Helenihi followed with a Graig Nettles impression, circa the 1978 World Series, with a diving stop and throw to retire Travis Tucker for the second out. Then first baseman Sean Ochikno smothered a hard shot to first to retire Brandon Belt and end the inning.

I'll be a bit late with the final-inning post because I have to fulfill some other obligations for our Web site. You'll see a purple "Sports Alert" bar at the top of the site almost immediately after the final out.

So feel free to click the link in the purple bar when the game is over, and check back to this blog for the final-inning wrap-up not too long after that.
