LSU gets help in late rally

LOUISIANA STATE 5 FLORIDA STATE 4

OMAHA — Greg Deichmann drove in the go-ahead run during a wild eighth inning, and LSU won its 17th straight game with a 5-4 victory over Florida State in the College World Series on Saturday night.

LSU (49-7) was down 4-3 when a bizarre sequence turned the game in the eighth. The Seminoles (4522) made three errors on one play, leading to one run, and Deichmann’s hit made the difference.

Jared Poche’ (11-3) worked 22⁄3 shutout innings in a rare relief appearance for the win. Tyler Holton (10-3), who pitched a workmanlike 71⁄3 innings, took the loss.
