The tigers national championship chances took a massive hit Sunday night as they fell to the bruins 2-1.  Despite a very good performance by starter Aaron Nola the LSU (57-10) defense commited 2 errors at critical moments to allow UCLA 2 runs.  Bruin starter Adam Plutko kept the LSU bats silent all night with the exception of Mason Katz’s solo homer in the 4th inning.  The tigers had 5 hits for the night.

LSU now faces North Carolina (57-11) in an elimination game.   Carolina lost to North Carolina State 8-1.  The tigers will be the home team at 2:00 Tuesday and will go with Cody Glenn on the mound.  The game will be televised by ESPN.
