To set the stage, Southern Miss entered the day in the winners bracket needing just one win over LA Tech to advance to their championship game and likely lock up a host spot for Hattiesburg. This is what happened:
Game 1 - Led 8-0 midway thru the game only to lose 11-10 in extras
Game 2 - Hit a go ahead homer in the 9th and led 5-2 needing only three outs to win. They decide to pitch a shortstop who hasn’t pitched for them all year in the bottom of the 9th and they proceed to allow 4 runs and lose 6-5.

I’m not sure LSU is going to be in any regional with the upsets that have been taking place the last day or so.
If LSU makes it, I also don’t think they’re rewarded with a regional in the state of Louisiana. I’m thinking Fort Worth, Austin, or Lubbock.

They certainly aren't a Regional team, but the college baseball world doesn't want to send PM off on a note where they don't even reach a Regional. That is why his retirement was announced now - to ensure some type of postseason play, though they continually get waxed against good teams.
It's kind of sad to watch, honestly.

John Cohen is head of the committee I believe and he will screw LSU. I don’t think LSU makes it. They’ll probably put in Fairfield over another SEC team which is bullshite.

While Cohen is one of 10 people on that committee, it appears his main occupation is residing in your head.

Why?
What was the situation with their normal closer(s)?

Talking shite from the conference cellar. I guess that's one way to go.

Lots of jealousy from bottom feeders in here... we in.

I just don't understand how LSU can be rewarded playing in Ruston after the season they've had.

A 3-seed in Austin would be a good landing spot for LSU.

Did a little diggin’....

USM right-handed reliever Aubrey Gillentine started the bottom of the ninth on the mound, but he was removed after giving up a leadoff hit.
SCOTT BERRY EXPLAINS DUSTIN DICKERSON MOVE
USM pitching coach Christian Ostrander then walked out to the mound and appeared to call in closer Garrett Ramsey from the bullpen, but instead went to shortstop Dustin Dickerson to take over.
Dickerson, whose fastball hit 94 miles per hour, had not pitched since his senior year at West Jones High School in 2019.
“As you have seen over the last two to three weeks, our bullpen hasn’t been real sharp,” Berry said. “We didn’t have many guys available. We were depleted.
“Dickerson has been throwing bullpens on the side and he has a really electric arm. His fastball was there, but his secondary wasn’t tonight. We thought maybe he’d give us a shot in the arm because we didn’t have the options to match up against La. Tech.”
Dickerson struck out the first batter he faced, but the next man up, Parker Bates, singled to put men on first and third with one out.
Steele Netterville then hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring home Taylor Young from third to cut the USM lead to 5-3.
Next up, Cole McConnell singled to right to knock in Bates to make it 5-4. Faust, who took over at second when Dickerson went to the mound, tried to track the ball into shallow right, but the wind was swirling at the moment and the ball dropped untouched.
Berry was asked post-game if he was concerned about making the defensive changes that went along with putting Dickerson on the mound.
“No, not really. There wasn’t anything else we could do with that,” Berry said. “If we had a crystal ball and knew certain plays would happen, we might be able to write the story differently.
“We felt good about it with a three-run lead. I felt good when we put Dickerson out there. It didn’t work out.”

I bet Steele Netterville was a travel ball legend.
