TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYER

Bregman matched his career-high with four hits - two singles and two doubles. The two doubles also equaled a career-best. Bregman's double in the seventh brought home LSU's last run. The one time Bregman was retired occurred when the centerfielder Appling caught his fly ball up against the fence. Bregman has hit safely in the last four games during which time he is 8-for-16.

STARTING PITCHER

Kyle Bouman was outstanding as he gave the Tigers six shutout innings. He allowed just two singles and walked two batters. He left the game with LSU ahead 1-0. Houston got one runner past first base against Bouman. He walked Frankie Ratcliff in the second. Ratcliff moved up on a sacrifice bunt. Bouman then retired Justin Montemayor on a fly ball to the leftfielder Fraley and Vidales on a ground ball to the third baseman Ibarra.

BULLPEN

The bullpen blew a 4-0 lead in the eighth inning. An obstruction call against McCune set the inning in motion. McCune ran into the batter Pyeatt as he was running to first base on his grounder down the first base line. McCune pitched to three other hitters - all of whom singled. He left the game with LSU leading 4-2 and the tying runs on base. Zac Person retired Grayson on a ground out to Bregman. Nate Fury took over for Person and allowed a two-run single by Barker which tied the score. Fury got the next two batters out to end the inning. Brouusard worked the last three innings as he suffered his second loss of the season. He walked two batters in the ninth before striking out Appling to end the inning. Broussard retired the side in order in the tenth and got the first two hitters out in the 11th. Then, he gave up three consecutive hits which produced the winning run.

FROM THE CLUBHOUSE

Paul Mainieri

"It was obviously a very tough loss for our guys. It was a heck of a game though. We seemingly had the game in hand. We should have been up more than we were. We were crushing balls all over. Unfortunately, the balls weren't falling for us. It looked like we had an insurmountable lead. Every ball they hit found a hole. Bouman was phenomenal. We couldn't ask for anything more from him. Our bullpen has been so fantastic. The interference call certainly aided their inning. We are going to regroup and get ready to play (Monday). We are playing for a championship (Monday)."

Alex Bregman

"We will do everything possible to win that game (Monday). We are going out there and play aggressive. We will have fun and let it rip. We have been tested a lot this year. We overcame it. We will play with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. We are coming out to the field like it's the last day we will ever get to play the game of baseball."

Tyler Moore

"We hit a lot of balls right on the nose. They just didn't find the holes. That's baseball. We know that it comes with playing the game of baseball. There is no time to hang our heads right now. We have to put it behind us and move forward. It is win or go home."

UP NEXT

LSU will play Houston for the championship of the regional Monday at 7 p.m. Alden Cartwright (1-1) will be the starting pitcher for the Tigers. The LSU-Houston game will be available only on ESPN3.
