SIX-PACK: Tigers take title

Mark Saltz/The Advocate

LSU players, including Leon Landry (6), dogpile after defeating Texas in the deciding game of the College World Series on Wednesday in Omaha, Neb.

LSU claimed the school's sixth national championship by finishing off Texas, 11-4, in the decisive game of the College World Series championship series.

The Tigers added a run in the ninth on Sean Ochinko's leadoff home run inside the left-field foul pole. Ochinko finished with a 4-for-5 night and three runs batted in after being benched Tuesday night.

Louis Coleman survived a four-pitch leadoff walk by finishing the championship run and his college career by striking out the side.

Coleman got Connor Rowe to swing at a 1-2 frisbee slider for the final strike. Then Coleman fired his glove into the air before catcher Micah Gibbs and the rest of the Tigers convened for the obligatory dog pile.
