The LSU baseball program, a perennial powerhouse in college baseball, fell victim to the Stony Brook Seawolves on Sunday night when they fell 7-2.
Frankie Vanderka tossed a complete game three-hitter to help the Seawolves advance to their first College World Series.
For those itching for that March Madness fix, this might be the next best thing in the meantime.
Very proud of my alma mater for beating LSU ad making it to the college world series!! Let's go Stony Brook!!!

As somebody who used to cover a lot of college baseball in the Northeast, what Stony Brook is doing is truly amazing

Stony Brook didn't only win. They won two must-win games and they won on the road and held LSU to 3 hits. Really, really amazing

Going to guess that Stony Brook is the first team to make the CWS after losing to Albany, Yale, Holy Cross (twice) and Binghamton (twice).

Two of the three judges from last night say LSU scored more runs than Stony Brook in Game 3.
