Little Rock defeats LSU 10-4, forces winner-take-all Baton Rouge game

The Little Rock Trojans staged a significant upset over the top-seeded LSU Tigers in the Baton Rouge Regional of the NCAA Tournament, winning 10-4 to force a decisive winner-take-all game. After losing the opening game 7-0, Little Rock rallied behind Angel Cano, who hit a two-run homer and a bases-clearing double, contributing heavily to their scoring. LSU struggled with control, issuing a season-high 11 walks and four wild pitches, which allowed eight of Little Rock's runs to score via walks. Despite LSU out-hitting the Trojans 11-8, their inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position, leaving 11 stranded, was costly. Little Rock's pitcher Malcolm Brown earned a key save by pitching 5.1 innings with only one earned run allowed. The Tigers will now face Little Rock in a high-stakes elimination game, with the winner advancing to the Super Regionals.
