Omaha, Neb. ? Blake Dean hit a three-run double off the left-field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning to keep LSU alive in the College World Series with a 6-5 victory over Rice on Tuesday.

Dean drove Cole St. Clair’s 1-0 pitch on a line to the fence, and he was mobbed by teammates shortly after he arrived at second base. The celebration was the culmination of LSU’s rally from a 5-0 deficit. The Tigers had scored a run in the seventh and eighth innings to pull to 5-2 against St. Clair.
