Ty Floyd struck out 17 and Cade Beloso hit a home run in the 11th inning to lift LSU past Florida in Game 1 of the Men's College World Series.
“The previous at-bat, he struck me out on three straight heaters and I figured he would go back to it,” Beloso said. “They weren’t going to switch anything up. I got one I was supposed to swing at and put a good swing on it.”
To get the game into extra innings, Tommy White knotted up the score in the eighth, smacking a one-out solo home run to left field. LSU starting pitcher Ty Floyd had his best performance of the season, striking out 17 batters in eight innings pitched — tying the single-game record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game at the MCWS. He was replaced by Cooper, who threw three shutout innings in relief.
“We aren’t sitting here without Ty Floyd,” LSU coach Jay Johnson said. “He’s one of the most underappreciated players in college baseball this year.” Game 2 of the series, the potential title clincher for the Tigers, is slated for 3 p.m. ET Sunday and scheduled to be televised on ESPN.Koki Riley covers LSU sports for The Daily Advertiser.
