Lsu Wins At Cws

Tue., June 4, 1996

Chad Cooley, Justin Bowles and Mike Koerner homered as Louisiana State beat Florida 9-4 despite committing five errors and allowing three unearned runs in the College World Series.

It was the fifth meeting of the Southeastern Conference teams, but the first time LSU (50-15) won. The secondseeded Gators didn’t have the muscle to stay with the top home run hitting team in the CWS.

The No. 6 Tigers advanced to the Bracket Two semifinals against an undetermined opponent. Florida (49-17) must come back today against Florida State, which beat Wichita State 8-4 in an elimination game Monday.
