LSU GAMER: DiGiacomo Helps LSU Avoid Elimination in Extra Innings Thriller

Posted by clintdomingue on June 5, 2021 in Blogs, Clint Domingue, Latest News, LSU Tigers

LSU’s season will continue for at least one more day after Giovanni DiGiacomo capped off a wild game with a walk-off single to give the Tigers a 6-5 win to send Central Connecticut State home packing.

How It Happened:

Dylan Crews wasted zero time getting the Tigers on the board with a leadoff solo home run out to left field to take an early 1-0 lead. Cade Doughty followed that up with a single to left-center and Tre Morgan brought him home with a single that went to right-center field to make it a 2-0 lead after one inning.

Things went a little sideways in the top of the second though with Matt Bertochi drilling an RBI single to center field. That was followed up by a two-run double by Dan Covino to put the Blue Devils out in front with a 3-2 lead.

After Jay Devito grounded out, Noah Martinez launched a two-run shot to right field to make it a 5-2 ballgame.

LSU answered the bell though with another leadoff home run from Dylan Crews in the bottom of the third. Drew Bianco came up clutch later in the inning with a two-out, two-run double down the left field line to knot things up at five runs apiece.

The game remained at a stalemate until the bottom of the tenth and Central Connecticut State quickly loaded the bases, giving Giovanni DiGiacomo a chance to play hero and extend the Tigers season in the process. He did just that with a single up the middle that got Gavin Dugas across home plate to stay alive in the NCAA Tournament

Big Number: 13

Sooner or later, LSU’s bats were going to get hot after going scoreless for 17 innings dating back to the Georgia game. The Tigers racked up 13 hits led by a big afternoon by Dylan Crews.

Player of the Game: Dylan Crews

Speaking of Crews, the freshman was on another level for the purple and gold going three-for-four with two bombs to help keep LSU in the ballgame.

Next Up: Loser of Oregon-Gonzaga; First Pitch at 5 pm
