Story Archives: Cinderella knocks out LSU Tigers of the NCAA Tourney


Cinderella knocks out LSU Tigers of the NCAA Tourney

The clock did not strike midnight on the Stony Brook fairy tale season as the Seawolves dominated the LSU Tigers 7-2 to win game three and advance to the school's first College World Series before a stunned Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge on Sunday night.

"This is obviously a very tough thing to deal with for us," LSU Coach Paul Mainieri said. "We had every expectation that we were going to win this Super Regional and head off to Omaha this week, but things do not always work out the way they are planned."

In a weekend plagued by weather delays, Game three was scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m., but fearing rain the game was postponed until 7:00 p.m. Stony Brook starter Frankie Vanderka (3-3) dealt the Tigers "A bend but not break style of pitching" on his way to two runs on three hits with four walks and five strikeouts in the game.

"To make it to Omaha is every college baseball teams dream, every college baseball coaches dream and it has come to fruition," Stony Brook Coach Matt Senk said. "To do it against LSU in Alex Box Stadium with Coach Mainieri, a class act, and a legendary coach (Skip Bertman). I shook Coach Bertman's hand on the way in. To have that man congratulate me is just unbelievable."
