NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -
As LSU head coach Paul Mainieri put on Monday afternoon, when you play such a tight game like Sunday’s game three, all it takes is one or two plays to completely change the weekend narrative.
Instead of the series deciding game being tied up in the eighth inning, Oral Roberts took the lead thanks to a few uncharacteristic errors.
And then when LSU had a chance to even the score in the bottom of the frame, the Golden Eagles had an answer there too.

Les Miles is out as Kansas head coach just days after he was placed on administrative leave amid sexual misconduct allegations from his tenure at LSU.
Kansas announced Miles departure Monday night, describing it as a mutual agreement to part ways. Miles has three years left on his original five-year contract with the school that pays him $2.775 million annually through December 2023 and includes several bonuses, among them a $675,000 retention bonus paid last November.
“I am extremely disappointed for our university, fans and everyone involved with our football program, Kansas athletic director Jeff Long said in a statement. We will begin the search for a new head coach immediately with an outside firm to assist in this process. We need to win football games, and that is exactly what we’re going to do.”
