OMAHA, Neb. -- Texas rode the arm of Taylor Jungmann, who threw a complete game and held LSU to four hits to lead the Longhorns to a 5-1 win in the second game of the College World Series.
Tuesday's win ties the best-of-three series at one game apiece, so the two teams will play a third and final game Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Rosenblatt Stadium to determine the 2009 College World Series champions.
Jungmann was practically unhittable on the night, limiting the Tigers to a series-low four hits. LSU's only run came as the result of a throwing error, allowing Jared Mitchell to score from second base, pulling the Tigers within a run at 2-1 in the second inning.
Top-seeded Texas broke the game open in the top of the third. Russell Moldenhauer opened with a home run, and the top-seeded Longhorns added two more runs on a Connor Rowe double and a Preston Clark single. Clark finished the night going 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs.
It was an uncharacteristic night for the LSU bats. The third-seeded Tigers never got a serious rally going and left three runners in scoring position, as Jungmann kept the Tigers back on their heels the whole night.
That sets up what should be a tremendous third and final game Wednesday at 6 p.m. Cole Green will get the ball for the Longhorns, while LSU will look to Anthony Ranaudo to lead the Tigers.
