OMAHA, Neb. – First baseman Jared Jones drove in four runs and right-hander Casan Evans pitched 4.1 superb relief innings to lead LSU to a 9-5 win over UCLA in the College World Series at Charles Schwab Field.
The game, which began on Monday night, was resumed at 10 a.m. CT Tuesday after inclement weather forced the contest to be suspended.
LSU improved to 50-15 on the season, while UCLA dropped to 48-17. The Tigers have won 50 games in a season for the 15th time in their history, and for the second time in three seasons.
LSU erased an early 3-0 deficit to defeat UCLA, marking the ninth time in the Tigers’ CWS history they have won a game after trailing by three or more runs.
Evans (5-1) took the mound for LSU when the game resumed Tuesday at the top of the fourth inning. He fired 4.1 innings, limiting the Bruins in two runs on four hits with no walks and five strikeouts, firing 68 pitches.
