In the exciting College World Series match between LSU and Arkansas, the Tigers secured a spot in the championship series for the second year in a row, adding more intensity to the already high-stakes game.

With the scoreboard showing a 5-3 lead for Arkansas during the bottom of the ninth inning in Omaha, Nebraska, it appeared that the Razorbacks were close to sealing the victory. However, a critical error, a missed catch with only two outs, gave LSU a lifeline and eventually helped them clinch the win.

Luis Hernandez lined a two-out ball into left field, and it looked as though Charles Davalan was going to make the catch for the final out.

Regrettably, Davalan, the unfortunate player, misjudged the trajectory of the ball, resulting in a hasty scramble to intercept it. Despite his efforts, the ball slipped off his glove and rolled out of reach, allowing LSU to capitalize on the mistake and turn the game around.

It allowed Ethan Frey and Steven Milam to score and tie the game at five as the crowd in Omaha went ballistic at what had just occurred. 

But the dramatics weren’t done there. 

Jared Jones, who had already hit a game-tying solo home run in the eighth inning, then stepped up to the plate and hit one off the glove of Arkansas second baseman Cam Kozeal that went into the outfield and allowed the game-winning run to score. 

It capped a wild game in which Arkansas let a 1-0 lead slip away in the sixth inning before the Razorbacks got a 3-2 lead in the top of the eighth inning, only to see that disappear in the bottom half. 

After the heroics, Jones ran over to where his parents were sitting and hugged his dad and mom. 

The win sets the stage for a showdown in the championship series between LSU and Coastal Carolina, which is set to begin on Saturday at 7 p.m.
