OMAHA, Neb. -- LSU used more eighth-inning magic to beat Florida State 5-4 in a College World Series opener Saturday at TD Ameritrade Park.
One week after the Tigers rallied for four runs in the eighth inning of a Super Regional opener against Mississippi State, the Tigers scored two unearned runs to move ahead of the Seminoles.
Cole Freeman scored the tying run on a play that included three errors -- two by right fielder Steven Wells and one by catcher Cal Raliegh -- and Greg Deichmann followed with a run-scoring single with one out.
Jared Poche came on in relief of Alex Lange in the seventh inning and earned the win that tied him with Scott Schultz for most in school history.
