LSU (49-18) will face Florida State (46-22) in an elimination game Wednesday night. They shared final cheers with the grinning group of players, who soon composed themselves as if it was business as usual before entering their locker room.
The top-ranked Oregon State Beavers overpowered the LSU Tigers, 13-1, in the second round of the College World Series, Monday, June 19, 2017, at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
By the time all three retreated to the locker room, it was Casey alone before a microphone at the front of the room. There's no way a team can beat the nation's best doing that.
"I know I'm 0-4". "There's something about them".
It is true that the Tigers must next take on 55-4 Oregon State in a winners' bracket game Monday (6 p.m. Central/ESPN).
LSU starter Eric Walker (8-2) exited after two-plus innings with forearm tightness.
"We try not to ever let up", Madrigal said.
"I was just looking for a good pitch to hit", Harrison said, "and put a good swing on it, keep it simple and stay relaxed, and I was able to do so". The next batter, first baseman K.J. Harrison, was walked.
Oregon State struck again in the top of the fifth.

"I was at the front of the dugout", shortstop Cadyn Grenier said. Mainieri opted to go with freshman Eric Walker in the second game which allowed him to put Poche in the bullpen.
Harrison helped pace the Beavers' 11-hit attack with a sixth-inning grand slam that highlighted a five-run outburst. "That's the kind of stuff you dream of growing up as a little kid, and for it to come true and at such a big stage, it was an incredible feeling". "For it to come true and at such a big stage, it was an fantastic feeling".
Oregon State's KJ Harrison is fired up rounding the bases after hitting a grand slam in the sixth. Fullerton (39-24) has gone two games and out in four straight CWS appearances and has lost nine games in a row in Omaha.
Meanwhile, Fehmel continued his postseason resurrection. He surrendered one run on two hits with no walks or strikeouts. LSU managed just a solo home run in the seventh inning off of Fehmel.
Eight of the first 12 outs OSU recorded came by pop outs.
"They're definitely a scrappy offense", Gilbert said. "It was fun to watch back there". After a ground out moved Kwan to second, Trevor Larnach hit a single up the middle to drive in Kwan and the Beavers led LSU 1-0.
Kwan led off by placing a trademark bunt on the first pitch he saw between a seemingly off-guard LSU infield. Trevor Larnach and Steven Kwan each had two hits with Larnach adding three RBI as OSU scored its most runs in CWS history.
"Oregon State really has an outstanding ball club", said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. Caleb Gilbert relieved and kept the game at 1-0 until Lamach looped a two-run single to center in the fifth for a 3-0 advantage.
Harrison (four), Larnach (three), Madrigal (three) and Grenier (three) drove in Oregon State's 13 runs. A win Friday would set a new school record for consecutive wins. But the Beavers best pitcher is not at the College World Series.
