LSU wins College World Series


Jared Mitchell, who was also on LSU's 2007 BCS Championship team, hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and was named CWS Most Outstanding Player, as LSU won its sixth national championship in baseball, 11-4 in Game 3 over Texas last night. "It's an unbelievable feeling to be put in the position where you're remembered forever in Baton Rouge now," said Mitchell. The championship ties LSU with Texas with 6 all-time, 2nd only to USC, which has 12. It was the first title for LSU head coach Paul Mainieri. "I've had wonderful kids everywhere I've been," Mainieri said. "They're all feeling a part of this. I'm so happy for these kids. They've done everything I've asked."
