In honor of LSU winning the SEC tournament, we’re going to post a video from April 29, 2009. In it, Ryan Schimph homers in the 5th inning and Blake Dean, the next batter up, knocks one over too.

Then, they come back up to bat while its still the 5th inning and both hit another homer.

Also, since Dean’s grand slam attempt fell just short of the wall yesterday, we decided to post Dean’s grand slam last year against Alabama in the SEC tournament.

After being ranked at #1 in college baseball preseason rankings, the LSU Fighting Tigers showed that they were for real after making their way to the SEC Championship game through the loser’s bracket.

In the first round, the Tigers were beaten by the Vanderbilt Commodores by a final score of 4-1. The Tigers then beat the Alabama Crimson Tide and the South Carolina Gamecocks in elimination games.

On Saturday, the Tigers began a game against the Georgia Bulldogs shorty after 1:00 PM CST and quickly racked up 7 runs in the first inning.

The game was then delayed by rain for over 4 hours.

The Tigers finished the game with a final score of 16-0 in seven innings and then went on to play the Bulldogs again in an elimination game around 45 minutes after the first game had finished.

The second game ended shortly before midnight when Ryan Schimph called off catcher Micah Gibbs and caught a pop up in the 7th inning.

The Tigers won with a final score of 3-2.

LSU then went on to face Vanderbilt again in the SEC Championship game and beat the Commodores with a final score of 6-2 to win their second consecutive SEC Championship.

Alabama is the only other team to ever do this.

LSU’s Mikie Mahtook (above) was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.

Hi Tiger fans. I’ve been away from a computer for a while but have gotten back just in time to cover the baseball team’s postseason run which will hopefully include a trip to Omaha.

Check back soon for updates on our Tigers.
