IDK who was on third or who the next two batters were, but a deepish fly ball by one those next two batters likely scores the winning run since LSU pulled an outfielder into the infield. Gotta put some of the blame on the hitters for not getting it done, but it sounds like Liput had a nice line drive with one out, just right at the guy. Bad luck. That's baseball. And I highly doubt Sully 'never even considered bunting', he just opted not to.
Both of our errors led to runs. Sully is not to blame here.
With the bases loaded, there's the force out at home, and five infielders. Bunting would not of been a good idea. Muldhunado and Liput are two pretty good hitters. Liput had just drove in the tying run. He hit it hard, it just went right at the third baseman. None of this is on the coaching staff.
Remember, we win this tournement after losing the first game last year. Anything is possible with a deep pitching staff.
Ultimately it's Sully's job to get us to Onaha, but any of the final 8 teams can win a double elimination tourney. The teams are so evenly matched. The 1 seed doesn't usually win because of the nature of the game. This is why MLB plays the best of seven in their playoffs.
