Recap: LSU wins Game 7, will face West Virginia in Baton Rouge Super Regional
LSU baseball entered Monday night's matchup against the Little Rock Trojans with no margin for error. After losing to the Trojans 10-4 on Sunday, Monday's contest was a winner-take-all Game 7. The winner would advance to face West Virginia in the Super Regionals. LSU made a big comeback to win this game 10-6. LSU was once again the visiting team, and the Tigers once again took an early lead as Ethan Frey hit a solo shot in the top of the first to give LSU a 1-0 lead. Advertisement Entering the game tonight, LSU had Zac Cowan and Casan Evans fresh to pitch, so I felt good about LSU's odds. Cowan got the start, and he worked through the first inning unscathed. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off for LSU in the bottom of the second inning. The Trojans scored five runs against Cowan as they kept stringing together hits to give Little Rock a 5-1 lead. Casan Evans was called out of the bullpen to try to save the day for LSU. He got the Tigers out of the inning, but the Trojans had done a ton of damage. At this point, anxiety had set in for the LSU faithful. They saw this same script play out last night, and it did not end well for LSU. Advertisement I understand that things looked bleak, but there was still a lot of baseball left. This team still had enough pop in their sticks to make a comeback. That comeback began in the top of the fourth inning. LSU loaded the bases, and Frey hit a three-RBI double to cut the lead to 5-4. Evans was able to keep the Trojans off the scoreboard and keep the Tigers in the game. In the top of the sixth inning, Indiana State transfer Luis Hernandez came through with a solo homer to tie the game 5-5! In the top of the seventh inning, Frey led off the inning with a double and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. An RBI groundout by Stephen Milam would score Frey and give LSU their first lead since the first inning! With LSU clinging to a one-run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, Evans remained on the mound. He found himself in a jam as three walks loaded the bases with two outs. Anthony Eyanson began to warm up in the bullpen. There is no tomorrow if the Tigers lose this game, so Jay Johnson was preparing to bring in one of his two aces to try to win. Evans then struck out the next hitter he faced to strand all three runners and get LSU out of the inning with a 6-5 lead. One thing that would make LSU fans feel better at this moment would be some insurance runs. Hernandez would be the leadoff hitter in the top of the eighth inning, and he had homered in his last at-bat to tie the game 5-5. On the first pitch he saw in the top of the eighth inning, he hit ANOTHER homer to extend the LSU lead to 7-5. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Evans passed the century mark as he had thrown over 100 pitches. Back-to-back hits put the tying run on first base with no outs, and Eyanson began ramping up his activity in the bullpen again. The next Trojan hitter laid down a bunt to try to put the tying run at second base, but Evans fielded the ball and got the out at third to spoil the bunt. Advertisement Evans was then pulled from the game as Eyanson entered with one out and runners on first and second. The first hitter Eyanson faced hit an RBI single up the middle to cut the lead to 7-6. The next hitter was retired via the strikeout for out number two. Tanner Reaves then made a great play at third, and Jared Jones made a stretch to get out number three. We would head to the ninth inning with the Tigers leading 7-6. Jake Brown walked to start the top of the ninth inning to bring up Jones. It is no secret that Jared Jones had been in hibernation during this regional. Entering this at-bat, Jones was 1-for-14 (.071) in three games in the Baton Rouge Regional. Finally, the "Bear" got the proverbial monkey off of his back as he hit a two-run bomb to extend the LSU lead to 9-6. An RBI single from Hernandez would score Chris Stanfield and make it 10-6, Tigers. Eyanson went out to pitch the ninth inning and close out the win for the Tigers. He retired the Trojans 1-2-3, and LSU advances to face West Virginia in a Super Regional at Alex Box Stadium. It was not easy, but Ethan Frey, Casan Evans, and Luis Hernandez came through when LSU needed them the most. The Tigers will welcome the Mountaineers into Alex Box Stadium.

Wander Franco wants ‘justice' as MLB star's sexual abuse trial begins
Wander Franco spoke out in court for the first time as his sexual abuse trial got underway in the Dominican Republic on Monday. The Rays' shortstop has been accused of sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor, and prosecutors have said that they have 'convincing evidence' that Franco committed the crime and then attempted to buy off the victim's mother. Franco has maintained his innocence against the allegations, which surfaced online in social media posts in August 2023 and have forced him away from the game of baseball since. 'I've heard everything they're saying [during the reading of the indictment], but the only thing I'm going to say is [I hope] justice is done,' Franco told the court at the start of the trial on Monday, according to ESPN's Enrique Rojas. Franco also told the court, 'Let justice be done,' before thanking the judges for the opportunity to speak, ESPN Deportes reported. The former MLB All-Star is facing charges of sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking after a judge ruled in September that the prosecution had enough evidence to move to trial. Dominican prosecutors have continued to reiterate that Franco 'kidnapped the victim for sexual purposes for several days' and had then given the mother 'large sums of money' in order to 'prevent her from reporting him.' The victim's mother is facing charges of money laundering and is under house arrest for her role. The abuse lasted eight months while the girl's mother benefited from Franco sending her money in order to keep her quiet, prosecutors allege. Franco's defense team argued in court on Monday that the prosecution does not have any evidence to prove their case and claimed the accusations are flawed, ESPN Deportes reported. The baseball player is facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted and the trial could take up to eight months to conclude, according to the Associated Press. Unlike the United States, there are no jury trials in the Dominican Republic, and the case is being heard by a panel of three judges who listen to arguments and witness testimony before analyzing the evidence and making a ruling. Judges Jakayra Veras, Venecia Rojas and José Juan Jiménez are presiding over the case, per ESPN Deportes. Allegations of misconduct came in the form of social media posts on Aug. 13, 2023, that went viral and alleged Franco had an inappropriate relationship with a minor. Franco has not spoken publicly about the allegations other than saying 'everything is in God's hands' after a hearing in September and an Instagram Live on the day that the allegations first surfaced. 'They say that I'm in public with a little girl, that I'm running around with a minor,' Franco said in the social media video in Spanish, per the Tampa Bay Times. 'People don't know what to do with their time. They don't know what they're talking about. 'That's why I prefer to be on my side and not get involved with anybody … because people gossip and talk smack.'
