June 8, 1996: Down a run to Miami w/ 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, Warren Morris walks it off with a two-run HR and LSU wins the CWS.
Jim Hawthorne on the call
30 years ago today LSU legend Warren Morris recalls his walk-off two-run home run to beat Miami to give the Tigers their third national championship.
It is still the only walk-off home run in a championship game in College World Series history.

Here’s my video I recorded and shared of #LSU AD Verge Ausberry on that very topic.
“We did tell him (Kiffin) this here. If you go to the playoffs, you can coach the team. We have no problem with that at all. LSU was not part of this where we didn’t want him to coach. We told him, if you get to the playoffs, please coach your team.”
The Bible has one of the best Mothers’ Day stories, one that every son or daughter can relate to.
It’s the wedding at Cana. (John 2:1-11)
Jesus goes to this wedding with His mother, Mary, and the wedding celebration runs out of wine. (That was kind of a disaster. Can you imagine a modern wedding reception where the open bar runs out of booze?)
Jesus had not started His ministry yet but Mary knew who He was and what powers He possessed.
Mary just looks at Jesus and simply says “They have no more wine.”
Every son or daughter knows that terse, commanding look—“Do something about it Jesus, I’m not playing.” (That’s not actually scripture, that last part is my imagination.)
So Jesus says: “Woman, why do you involve me? My hour has not yet come.”
Then, in one of the more humorous moments in the Bible, Mary just ignores Jesus and looks at the servants and says: "Do whatever he tells you.”
It’s really easy to imagine Jesus rolling His eyes, giving off a deep sigh, and then doing what His mother told Him to do. He turned six stone jars of water into the best wine anyone had ever tasted.
Because even the Son of God listens to His mother.
Happy Mothers’ Day.
"As straightforward as securing the border seemed to be once you got into office, it almost implies that another President could reverse it as quickly. Is there any way to protect against that in the future?"
@POTUS: "Yeah, vote Republican. It's very simple."
