Morgan to Milazzo-Best Defensive Play of CWS

In a epic pitching dual that remained 0-0 in until the bottom of the 11th this game will go down as one of the best ever in CWS History.

"The best-pitched college game I've ever seen from both sides," LSU Head Coach Jay Johnson said. "you might see four pitchers that were on that mound tonight

from both teams that will pitch in Major League Baseball all-star games. Hat tip to Coach Walter and Wake Forest, we just slayed a giant tonight."

As great as the pitchers were, the defense of both teams was excellent as well.

Wake's best chance to get on the scoreboard came in a thrilling eighth after a walk, sacrifice bunt and strikeout-wild pitch sequence put runners on the corners with one out against LSU ace Paul Skenes. Marek Houston pushed a bunt that hard charging Tre Morgan scooped near first base and flipped the ball home on a bang-bang play as catcher Alex Milazzo tagged Johnson as he sailed airborne to the plate.

“I was like, ‘Oh God, they’re going to score,’” said White, the third baseman. “Then Morgan came flying out of nowhere.” This defensive gem from Morgan to Milazzo along with the highest quality pitching makes this game between Wake and LSU an instant classic in CWS History.
