OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Jared Poche’ became LSU’s career wins leader, Jake Slaughter hit a three-run homer, and the Tigers eliminated Florida State from the College World Series with a 7-4 win Wednesday night.
LSU (50-18) advances to the Bracket 1 final Friday against No. 1 national seed Oregon State.
Florida State (46-23) will go home without a national title for a 22nd time. No program has as many CWS appearances without winning the championship.
Poche’ (12-3) won for the 39th time to break the record Scott Schultz set from 1992-95. He left after Quincy Nieporte and Cal Raleigh homered on consecutive pitches in the ninth. Zack Hess struck out the side for his third save.
Slaughter barely cleared the left-center fence in the second inning to make it 5-0 against Cole Sands (6-4). It was the freshman’s first homer since March 15 and third of the season.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Tommy Pham’ second solo homer off Hector Neris in the ninth inning tied it and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in 10 innings Wednesday night.
Jedd Gyorko hit a two-run homer and pinch-hitter Jose Martinez also connected for St. Louis.
The game went to extra innings after Freddy Galvis lined a double down the left-field line with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, but Odubel Herrera ran through a stop sign, around third-base coach Juan Samuel and was thrown out by 10 feet. He didn’t even attempt to slide and was pulled from the game in a double switch.
Martinez led off the 10th with a double to right off Edubray Ramos (0-6). He advanced to third on a balk and scored when Ramos made a throwing error on a pickoff attempt at first base after Dexter Fowler was intentionally walked. Yadier Molina added an RBI single.
A Corning man was arrested on Wednesday by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office after a pursuit that started in Lenox with Taylor County Deputies. The pursuit ended at a residence on 240th Street in Corning.
Deputies eventually arrested 21-year-old Ridge Allen Casteel of Corning on multiple drug charges. Several bags of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia were found inside the house and vehicle at 3050 240th Street in Corning. Casteel faces charges of Possession with Intent to Deliver and Drug Tax Stamp Violation. He was taken into custody and held on $5,000 bond.
The Red Oak Police Department reports the arrest of an Omaha man on a charge of Child Endangerment Wednesday. At 3:37pm officers arrested 41-year-old Alejandro Garcia-Pimentel of Omaha in the parking lot of the BP Gas Station at 1715 North Broadway Street in Red Oak. He was taken to the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Center and held on $2,000 bond. No further details were provided at this time.

Concept Photo
First Whitney Bank delivered a proposal to the Atlantic City Council on Wednesday night to construct a sculpture of Atlantic founder Franklin Whitney on Chestnut Street. The bank wants to gift the sculpture in honor of Atlantic’s 150th Anniversary in 2018.
Bank President Paul Gude delivered the proposal to the council.
“What I am asking the city council to do is approve the construction of a center island on Chestnut Street between the First Whitney Bank and the Whitney Hotel.”
The monument on the center island would be a bronze casting sculpture to commemorate Franklin Whitney’s founding of the City of Atlantic.
The proposal would have Scott Smith and Troy Muller from the First Century Art Guild in Kimballton build the sculpture. The sculpture would take about a year to complete if approved and First Whitney Bank would fund the entire project.
The island would be about 7 feet wide and 30-40 feet long.
The Council appeared to favor approval of the project but no action could be taken yet.
Listen to Jim Field’s interview with First Whitney Bank CEO Paul Gude about the project on our Heartbeat Today program below.
