Rain short- circuits LSU power show Arizona 7, St. John’s 6 ( 10)

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU hit tying home runs in the ninth, 10th and 11th innings, prolonging a wild NCAA tournament game with upstart Stony Brook long enough for a downpour to postpone it until this morning, tied at 4.

Sal Intagliata’s two- run homer in the second gave the Seawolves ( 50- 12) a lead that lasted until Jacoby Jones’ solo homer off reliever James Campbell tied it at 2 in the bottom of the ninth.

Stony Brook left fielder Steve Goldstein homered in the 10th, but flubbed a chance to end it when he overran Tyler Moore’s two- out foul popup, giving Moore the extra swing he needed to hit his tying homer.

After Stony Brook scored on a sacrifice fly in the 11th, LSU ( 46- 16) tied it at 4 on Mason Katz’s homer.

The opener of the best- of- three super regional, will resume at 10: 05 a. m. CDT, with Game 2 starting 50 minutes after the first ends.

TUCSON, Ariz. — Trent Gilbert hit a basesloaded single with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning as Arizona rallied from an early fiverun deficit and defeated St. John’s in the opening game of their super regional series Friday.

The Red Storm had taken a 6- 5 lead in the top of the inning on Sean O’Hare’s RBI double, but the Wildcats tied it on Bobby Brown’s RBI single. Arizona ( 42- 17) loaded the bases against Kevin Kilpatrick ( 3- 3), and Gilbert slapped a single off James Lomangino into right field for the win. Reliever Mathew Troupe ( 4- 1) got two outs for the victory.

Arizona can advance to the College World Series for the first time since 2004 with a win today.

St. John’s ( 40- 22) scored five times in the fourth inning, but Arizona got single runs in the fourth and fifth and tied it at 5 with three runs in the sixth.
