| | |  | | Ryan Theriot and the Tigers celebrate LSU's fifth CWS title. | Going into Saturday's College World Series championship game, Louisiana State had won 12 games in a row. The Tigers were not going to let a little thing like a three-run deficit in the eighth inning spoil their fun. LSU scored three in the eighth and once more in the bottom of the ninth on Brad Cresse's game-winning RBI to notch a stunning 6-5 victory over Stanford. The Tigers, the 17th team to run the table in the College World Series without losing a game, overcame a grand slam by Stanford's Craig Thompson.
