It wasn’t exactly unexpected, but that didn’t make watching LSU’s dismantling at the hands of Oregon St. any less painful. The 14-1 and 12-0 losses were the largest margins of defeat of the year (though there were many other losses this year that come close) and if you stand back a step and just look at the matchup on paper, it shouldn’t be all that surprising. Oregon St, the No. 3-overall National Seed, who defeated LSU 13-1 in Omaha last year before LSU came back and eliminated them, returned 8 of 9 starters from last year’s squad and also had two-time Pac-12 pitcher of the year Luke Heimlich in their rotation this time around.
