A pair of LSU baseball dads revive Florida fan at College World Series

OMAHA, Neb. - Dr. Jerry Poche, the father of LSU pitcher Jared Poche, and Jimmy Roy, the father of LSU strength and conditioning coach Travis Roy, performed CPR on a Florida man and revived him before paramedics could bring the fan to the emergency room.

Poche, a family medicine doctor from Lutcher who has been practicing medicine for more than 28 years, said he was about 8-10 rows down in section 117 at TD Ameritrade Park during Monday night's College World Series game when he heard the call to come help.

"He was basically dead," Poche said about the man's condition when he made it to him.
