LSU Gets The Out Off The 3rd Baseman's Face

Haha! This is definitely one way to get an out.

Check out what happened Saturday afternoon, during the LSU vs. Arkansas game at the SEC Baseball tournament in Hoover, AL.

The Razorbacks are at the plate and a pop fly is hit in foul ground just behind 3rd base.

LSU 3rd Baseman Christian Ibarra goes back on the ball, but...well...he must of lost it in the sun.

The ball comes down...and hits Ibarra smack on the face, bounces in the air and is caught by LSU's shortstop Alex Bregman.

And yes, it was an out. A painful out, but an out never the less...

BTW---LSU won the game 11-1 and will play for the SEC Title on Sunday...

This: LSU Baseball beats NW State 27-0 on No Hitter

((ht: theadvocate.com))

Yikes! Don't they have a mercy rule in College Baseball?

The LSU Tigers annihilated Northwestern State 27-0 in a game called in the bottom of the 6th inning due to lightning.

The game featured 2 Grand Slams HR's and 5 Tiger pitchers giving up 0 hits to the Demons.

According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, the win was the largest in LSU Baseball history--and that the program dates back to 1893.

And in case you are wondering, Northwestern State isn't a terrible team, they came into the game with a 30-21 record on the season.

Thankfully a thunderstorm rolled in and put an end to the game which started an hour late due to the weather and was delayed in the 3rd inning. The final straw was lightning in the area just before 10:30 p.m central time.

The win put the tigers at 37-14 on the season and sets them up for the SEC baseball tourney which begins next week.

Best Baseball Catch Ever: LSU's Jared Foster with This Week's Version

((ht: cbssports.com))

This baseball highlight is too good not to share.

You want to talk about saving a game...and we're not speaking about pitchers here.

Check out what happened in the bottom of the 9th inning during Friday night's LSU/Texas A and M baseball game in College Station, Texas.

Bases loaded, 2 out, the Aggies Blake Allemand at the plate in a tie game. Allemand goes opposite field and it looks like the game is over.

That's when LSU left fielder Jared Foster jumped into action...literally.

Foster takes a direct angle towards the ball, almost over runs it, leaps in the air, twisting while doing it and makes the catch.

It kept the game tied until the Tigers would win in extra innings....

OSG High: 7 Arrested In "Molly" Bust Including LSU Baseball Signee

((HT: AJC/Stevens))

And the HQ knows what you're asking...

"What in the wild world of sports is Molly?" (other than a Ringwold or someone paired with Fibber and McGee)

Molly is a new variant on ecstasy that has a similar make-up to meth and acts the same. Seven ounces of MDMA powder was found in the home and $17,000 worth of the drug was seized along with marijuana and a weapon in what Bartow County (GA) authorities are calling a first of its kind.

Seven people were arrested- including LSU baseball signee Dylan Williams who played baseball at Cass High School, located in suburban Cartersville in Bartow County.

A traffic stop of one of the seven led to a search warrant of that individual's home and the arrest of the other six.

Williams and two other 18-year-olds were charged with trafficking Ecstasy, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.

Here's the story on the bust...
((HT: WSB-TV))
All seven were booked into the Bartow County jail and local authorities are saying more arrests in the case are likely. LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri told the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper he was informed about the arrest and has talked to Williams' father. From the conversation, Mainieri said, it was his understanding Williams happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. From the Baton Rouge Advocate's Matthew Harris: Mainieri said Williams’ father told him the pitcher had gone to the home to pick up a high school friend to get a bite to eat and “do what kids do” and “police broke into a house he doesn’t even live in, and next thing you know he’s accused of something.” “They obviously feel he’s been wrongfully accused of something,” Mainieri said. “It’s definitely the strangest thing that I’ve ever heard of. As you might imagine, there’s a kid who feels his world is crumbling all around and him and knows he did nothing wrong. If he’s telling the truth, he didn’t do anything wrong.”
Williams could face a minimum sentence of three years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted of Ecstasy trafficking. A conviction on the marijuana charge could bring a sentence between one and 10 years in prison.
