Former Birmingham Brother Rice standout D.J. LeMahieu helped LSU take a 1-0 lead in Monday's 11-inning College World Series finals opener.
I wasn't surprised to see the game go to extras, and it's not because I know a lot about college ball. Several games in the CWS have gone to extras, and they've been great games to watch.
It seems every day I'm laying out the designated college baseball page, another contest goes long. Hopefully, tonight's (Tuesday) potential clincher for LSU will be another close one.
