A few days ago, the MLB world was abuzz after a historic Los Angeles Angels vs. Colorado Rockies game. Despite Shohei Otani’s lack of contribution, the Angels set a franchise record with 25 runs. The Halos were the talk of the town, and now, something similar has happened in college baseball.

Amidst the College World Series heat, fans have their expectations set on the LSU Tigers. A historically good team, the Tigers are up against the Florida Gators and punched a 4-3 victory in Game 1. The next day, LSU took an early 3-1 lead by the second inning, but the scoreboard could only record one more run on their side. After that, Florida burst onto the scene, determined to win. In the process, the Gators also set a record.

Florida Gators defeat LSU Tigers and make history in College World Series

Game 2 ended with a dramatic 24-4 win for the Gators, with 24 being the most runs a team has scored in the College World Series. Game 1 was already tense because LSU made many mistakes, with a lack of offense. But on the second day, the pitching staff also seemed to have imploded. They gave up four home runs, with the offense again struggling after the third inning.

It was an absolute defeat for the Tigers, with the Gators crushing them mercilessly. Florida’s ace Hurston Waldrep struggled initially, but it only came off as nervous jitters. Because by the third inning, nothing went LSU’s way. It was a historic night, but safe to say Tigers’ fans were fuming.
