LSU Shreveport completes unbeaten season; wins 1st national championship
LEWISTON, Idaho (KTAL/KMSS) — The LSU Shreveport baseball team made history Friday night winning the NAIA National Championship with a 13-7 win over Southeastern (Fla.) in the World Series title game.
The Pilots (59-0) fell behind 4-0 in the 2nd inning but never flinched. Jose Sallorin drove in two runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning with a bases loaded single up the middle. Shreveport scored three runs in the inning to pull within one.
With the Pilots trailing 7-6 in the bottom of the 6th inning Jackson Syring belted a solo homerun over the centerfield fence. You could feel the confidence building with one swing of the bat. The very next hitter, Ian Montz drove the ball over the right-centerfield wall to give LSUS the lead for good.
Ryan Davenport and Sallorin drove in three runs each in the win.
While Brock Lucas and Draven Ziegler didn't have their best stuff through the first four innings of the game on the mound, giving up seven runs on six hits, Kenneth Schechter was brilliant in relief. Schechter went four innings, while giving up no runs on two hits while striking out two to pick up the win.
Ace Isaac Rohde came on in relief and pitched the final inning of the game.
The Pilots extended the longest win streak by a college baseball team at any level to 59 games.
