Oregon State goes down for the count as LSU moves on to CWS finals

Who knew LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri and his College World Series finalists Tigers could rope-a-dope so well?

LSU got hammered by No. 1 ranked Oregon State 13-3 last Monday, giving the Beavers until Friday to get fat, happy, rested and confident.

Then a stunning dye job and few bad haircuts later, the Tigers got some of their swag back Wednesday in a 7-4 elimination game win over Florida State.

Oregon State was itching to extend its 23-game winning streak against LSU in Friday's semifinals, but the Tigers had the 56-win Beavers right where they wanted them in Omaha's Ameritrade Park.
