‘Fab Four’ falls short of CWS title in do-or-die game OMAHA, Neb. — With senior pitcher Jared Poché starting Game 2 on the mound, LSU had every member of its “Fab Four” on the field in what would be their last game together.

Poché, senior infielders Cole Freeman and Kramer Robertson and junior outfielder Greg Deichmann all decided after last season to return to LSU for one more go. The four led LSU through the bumps and bruises of the season all the way to the College World Series final.

With Poché on the mound, it looked like the Tigers were destined for a Game 3, but that wouldn’t be the case.

“I am definitely going to remember this team,” Poché said. “It’s definitely one of the more special teams I’ve been on in my four years, just the relationships that we’ve built throughout the season.”

Poché pitched 5 innings, giving up seven hits and two unearned runs in his final game, but the lefty will go down as the winningest pitcher in LSU

history with 39 career wins.

“It’s relationships that are going to last for a very long time, and it’s one of those things that I probably won’t ever be able to play with [Robertson] or Cole Freeman or Greg again.”

The pitcher had been flanked

by Freeman and Robertson for the past two years, both of whom made spectacular plays in the field.

“You don’t get to play with them again,” Robertson said. “I think that’s the hardest thing.”

Robertson, who did not play at his usual elite level in the College World Series, said that he is at peace with his career and left everything he had on the field.

“We got second place,” Robertson said, “But it was a special group of guys in there, and we made relationships that will last forever.”

“It’s tough for anybody to make it this far and not win it, but there is lots to be proud of.

We won five championships, we just didn’t get number six.”

The shortstop finished his

career 206 hits, and created a vault of highlights with his play in the field.

Robertson’s ability in the field was matched by his middle infield partner Freeman, who has also been LSU’s best hitter the past two seasons.

“This is what we came back for, and it hurts we couldn’t finish it off” Freeman said. “We just have to look at the positives, it has been an unbelievable season.”

“I wouldn’t trade this for the world.”

Freeman’s ability to get singles and doubles was contrasted by the slugging ability of Deichmann. In 2017, the junior outfielder hit 19 home runs, the most of any LSU player since Matt Gaudet hit 19 in 2010.

“We did a lot of great things this year,” Deichmann said. “We had some guys who poured their hearts out and gave everything for this program. It’s just learning about the guys on the team, and the guys that become close family. It sucks, it really sucks

we are going to have to go our separate ways.”

“Us four were kind of highlighted for coming back, but there is so much more in this program than just us four.”

“They are like my own family,” coach Paul Mainieri said. “They’ve sacrificed and given so much for our program, and they are ready to start their pro careers. I know it will never be the same for them because they love LSU, and it’s going to be the hardest thing in the world to say goodbye to them.”

Mainieri said the next couple of days is the hardest part of the year for him because of the goodbyes to so many players, but that he cherishes the memories.

“In Jared and Kramer’s case, we’ve been through four years together. And other guys, Cole Freeman it’s two years, Deichmann, three years. There’s a lot of things that happened throughout those times, a lot of awesome experiences that we’ll cherish forever.”

One and the same Hill Memorial Library’s newest exhibit examines connections between human and animal worlds

BY MYIA HAMBRICK @MyiaChristine Students can go back in time while viewing ancient fossils, research from the 1800s and sketches of dragons at the newest exhibit in the University’s Hill Memorial Library.

The exhibit, titled “Paper Tigers and Biblio-Beasts: Creatures in the Collections,” focuses on a history of animals and their relevance to the human world. The exhibit contains sketches, written accounts and photographs spanning from the early 16th century to present day.

“You know, these books and drawings sometimes give us more context about the person writing it, rather than the animal itself,” Hill Memorial exhibitions coordinator Leah Wood Jewett said. “It helps us relate, and it helps us learn more about animals and humankind.”

Jewett said selecting items to include in the exhibit was a difficult process, as the library’s collection is extensive.

“The good thing is that if someone sees a book or topic they like, they can come back and explore further, and even read the book on display after the exhibit is over,” Jewett said.

The ground floor contains a section on beasts from mythology and manuscripts from early scientists like Charles Darwin, as well as an original painting from Spanish surrealist pioneer Salvador Dali and photographs depicting people adorned with bird feathers and animal pelts.

The second floor is a more comprehensive look at various sea life, insects and mammals. There are

RESEARCH

LSUAg to begin marijuana research

BY MYIA HAMBRICK @MyiaChristine The University’s agriculture department has been approved to work on a new research initiative of the medicinal use of the marijuana plant.

The department is working with GB Sciences, a company based in Las Vegas, Nevada, to fully support the project. Pennington Biomedical is also helping the AgCenter on the project, so no taxpayer dollars will go towards building the facility and managing it.

Hampton Grunewald, Associate Vice President at the LSU AgCenter, stated that the department’s place in the equation is purely research based.

“Research is what made us feel comfortable with this project. We have no interest in being in the medical marijuana business, but if we can give good research and data then we can help validate the industry,” Grunewald said.

GB Science is not able to do research on the cannabis grown in Louisiana. Under Louisiana law, only the University’s agricultural center and Southern University’s agricultural department are able to conduct research.

According to Grunewald, the University is one of the first to be working with a company to conduct research on the subject.

The University of Mississippi has a similar program, but the legislature in Louisiana is what

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

Most of the ten tracks are fulfilling and the right balance of pop, keen vocals and elements of experimental rock.

The first seven songs are the best, with the three at the tail end weening off the politically charged and well crafted wagon a little. However, “Feel It Still” is not the only track with a defined message.

This season fell short compared to the other captivating, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your seat seasons I was accustomed to from the past. The characters were a lot more developed, but in the end it still didn’t give me what I was looking for.

CUT SHORT

l championship

nth nationa Errors plague Tigers, end hopes of seve

BY HANNAH MARTIN @hmartinTDR The LSU baseball team was competing for four players that returned for one more season to win it all.

But with their backs against the wall, they fell short.

Florida captured its first national championship in school history with a 6-1 victory over the Tigers in Game 2 of the College World Series finals.

“Even though we came up a little bit short,” coach Paul Mainieri said, “two victories short, I think we did a lot of things this year to make the people in our community proud and our state proud.”

LSU (52-20) was 3-0 in elimination games previously in the NCAA tournament, keeping the Tiger’s hopes alive of a College World Series title.

Freshman pitcher Tyler Dyson (4-0) earned the win for the Gators in his second career start.

Florida opened up the bottom of the first inning with an error on junior first baseman Nick Coomes and two singles that resulted in an early 1-0 lead for the Gators.

Coomes had been in and out of the lineup since the beginning of the NCAA tournament, but hadn’t played since the first game against Oregon State that the Tigers eventually lost 13-1.

With two runners on base and no outs, junior outfielder Greg Deichmann channelled his inner Odell Beckham Jr. reaching backwards in the air to make a catch that could have potentially saved the game and minimized a lot of damage.

However, errors continued to cost the Tigers.

Florida jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second after a throwing error on Coomes.

Freshman third baseman Josh Smith picked up an error of his own, and Poché worked the batters on his end forcing Florida’s JJ Shwarz to ground out for the third out.

Before the bottom of the third inning began, coach Paul Mainieri pulled Coomes and sent freshman first baseman Jake Slaughter in the game.

Two back-to-back singles from the Gators put Poche in a jam and he intentionally walked Rivera, a 7-hole hitter batting .238.

Luckily, Poché’s strategy worked out as he ended the inning on the strikeout and a pop up leaving three Gators stranded.

A “Vintage Poché” performance.

Poché meant business for the fourth and fifth innings retiring all six batters, making it eight straight before a single in the

sixth would break up the steak.

With two outs and one runner on base in the bottom of the sixth inning, freshman pitcher Zack Hess came on in relief.

LSU’s winningest pitcher walked off the mound. But before he could make it to the dugout, he stopped and looked around at a crowd of 26, 607.

Four years and 39 wins later, Poché has solidified his legacy for LSU baseball.

Poché pitched for 5.2 innings with three strikeouts on 98 pitches in his final game as an LSU Tiger.

“As a pitcher,” Poché said, “The only thing you can control is once you let go of the baseball, you can’t control anything that happens after that. So, you know, I just stuck with that. And guys have been making plays for me all year, my entire career.”

Something sparked the Tigers in the top of the seventh when an RBI single from Smith pulled the Tigers within one run. Watson stole second base uncontested before Smith’s at-bat, which ended up costing the Gators.

Things looked bright for LSU, but it ended quickly.

With no outs, Slaughter singled through the left side advancing Smith to third base. Junior catcher Michael Papierski had runners on the corners and the Tiger’s needed something big.

Typically in moments like that, Papierski delivers.

Slaughter was called with an interference on the play which automatically ruled him out, resulting in a double play and forcing Smith go back to third base.

“From my vantage point,” Mainieri said, “when the play happened, I didn’t think there was anything wrong. It was a slow-developing double play and there was some contact there.”

The scenario LSU was hoping for was two outs on Slaughter and Papierski, but a run for Smith to tie the game.

Junior designated hitter Beau Jordan ended the inning on a line out, to put a hold on LSU’s chance to make a comeback.

Senior shortstop Kramer Robertson stepped up to the plate for the fourth time in the game in the top of the eighth inning.

He was sent back to the dugout in his previous three at bats, but this one changed that.

Robertson singled to right field, giving the Tigers much needed momentum from their leadoff hitter.

He advanced to second on a wild pitch and senior second baseman Cole Freeman singled to put runners on the corners.

It was deja vu with runners on the corners with no outs.

But just when the Tigers were about to catch up to the Gators, they were stopped short.

Robertson was unable to beat the throw to home plate while Deichmann’s hit allowed him to

reach first base.

Once again, the Tiger’s fell short.

Things escalated quickly for Florida in the bottom of the eighth inning, as, in the blink of an eye, the Gators pulled away with a 6-1 lead.

“Things got out of hand there in the bottom of the eighth inning,” Mainieri said. “And the score is not indicative of the kind of game that it was, I don’t think, at all. I think the two teams were very evenly matched.”

It started with a double down the left field line from Florida’s Jonathan India, and the team never looked back.

Their first national championship in school history was closer than ever.

While the “Fab Four” weren’t able to capture the College World Series title, Robertson and his teammates can only look back and be proud of what they accomplished during their years in an LSU uniform.

“I’m at peace with my career,” Robertson said. “I gave everything I had to this university and to this team. It’s tough to think it’s over. But like I said, I’m at peace with everything. I gave everything I had. Poché gave everything he had, and we just didn’t win the national championship. We got second place, but it was a special group of guys in there, and we made relationships that will last forever.”

What Could Have Been Lange misses final opportunity to pitch as an LSU Tiger

BY BRANDON ADAM / @badam_TDR OMAHA, Neb. — Junior with three appearances on pitcher Alex the mound in the Lange missed College World out on one more Series, two of “I just really wanted which were wins. opportunity to pitch in the pur- an opportunity to “It’s tough ple and gold. knowing that my go out there and college career Lange was scheduled to might be over,” pitch.” pitch in Game Lange said.

ALEX LANGE 3 of the College “That’s the Pitcher World Series, but most difficult part, that was thrown k nowto the wayside as Florida captured the national ing that everything this university has championship.

The first round pick was given to me. I hurt not available until Wednesday for the guys in this after pitching a gem against locker room because Oregon State on Friday.

all-time on the Tigers career strikeout list with 406, which is three shy of Scott Schultz’s record of 409.

This season Lange battled through adversity with the rest of the team, and said it is one

he will remember forever.

“These guys in this locker room, how close we have gotten, the adversity we were put through, and what people said we couldn’t do. Coming out of here with five championships is pretty special.”

But for Lange, the final game and the way the season ended will leave a bitter taste in his mouth.

“It’s definitely difficult whenever you don’t win the last game of the season,” Lange said. “You’re going to have that taste, and it just sucks. You put all the hours in and spend so much time with the guys, and it all gets taken out in a moment.”

The taste in his mouth may get a little worse when he hears how much Florida and their coaching staff feared Lange.

The reputation he has developed over the past three years was certainly not lost on Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan.

O’Sullivan put all his chips on the table in Game 2 when he brought sophomore pitcher Jackson Kovar, who was set to be the Gator’s starter in Game 3, for relief.

“The biggest factor is I didn’t want to see Alex Lange tomorrow, to be honest with you,” O’Sullivan said. “That was the situation that was not going to probably work in our favor to be honest with you.

He’s very competitive.”

Coach Paul Mainieri obviously felt a little bit different about seeing Lange in a potential Game 3 on Wednesday.

“I would have loved to see him pitch,” Mainieri said.

“We knew we needed to win one of the first two games and we didn’t do that. So now Lange will go off, and start his professional career as well.”

KEEP IT LOCAL Baton Rouge food scene expanding, deserves more recognition TAYLOR TALKING TAYLOR DELPIDIO @TD_Reveille

DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

I love food. From a family background which centered its celebrations around food, to an upbringing in one of the greatest food cities in the country, to an extensive personal history of cooking, fresh, delicious food is something I’ve always valued.

Countless studies have shown the benefit of eating fresh, whole foods, defined as food that has been processed as little as possible and contains no other added ingredients, over processed foods. Whole foods are more nutrient-dense, contain less unhealthy chemicals, and most importantly, taste better.

This brings me to the Baton Rouge food scene, which I feel is criminally underrated. While there may be no Michelin-star restaurants in the city, there are several restaurants producing high-quality, fresh food.

During my time driving for a food delivery service, I would often pick up deliveries from restaurants devoid of patrons. Places like City Pork Deli & Charcuterie, which smokes all of its own products and makes

everything from scratch, and Southfin Southern Poke, which sources all of its seafood from Gulf fishermen and uses locally produced rice. Curbside Burgers, featured on the Food Network, uniquely grinds their own patties for each burger.

These types of restaurants need your help. The next time you have to plan a date, choose to eat local over a chain. I guarantee you, the food will be better and if your date enjoys their meal, the date will go better.

Additionally, it makes for a better atmosphere. I know that when I get out of my car at City Pork Deli, the smell of cooking and smoking meat instantly puts me in a good mood. That’s atmosphere you can’t pay for.

This type of care and artisanship deserves to be rewarded. Based on my experience within the food industry, it’s rare to see people put so much effort into their craft. Without your help, small businesses cannot continue. Next time, eat local.

Castile’s death racially motivated, officer should be held liable RAMBLING RAMIREZ YSABELLA RAMIREZ @ysaram97 On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was pulled over at a traffic stop by police officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser in the suburbs of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, sat beside him in the passenger seat, while her 4-year-old daughter was in the back of the vehicle.

An officer patrolling nearby earlier stated over the radio that he was intending to pull over the vehicle and check Castile’s and Reynolds’ IDs because “they [the two occupants] just look

like people that were involved in a robbery. The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just because of the wide-set nose. I couldn’t get a good look at the passenger.”

Forty seconds was the amount of time it took from Yanez first talking to Castile through the car window to shooting him seven times at point blank range, with two bullets piercing Castile’s heart and killing him.

Castile informed the officer that he was armed. There was a back-and-forth where Yanez exclaimed to not reach for the gun and Castile responded that he was not. What came next were the shots that reverberated throughout the Black Lives Matter movement to this day.

Reynolds states in the video that Castile informed Yanez that the license and registration were in his wallet, but he did have a weapon as he was licensed to carry. She goes on to explain that when asked not to move, as Castile was putting his hands up, the shots began from Yanez’ gun.

Reynolds was subsequently handcuffed. She and her child were put into a police car and her child was recorded saying, “Mom, please stop cussing and screaming ‘cause I don’t want you to get shooted.”

being shot on ‘cussing and screaming’?

Yanez stated he believed Castile was reaching for his gun because his hand seemed to be reaching for something ‘thicker than a wallet’, among other reasons. He claimed the shooting was justified ‘based on fear for his own life because he believed that Castile’s behavior was abusive toward a young girl passenger in the car.’ Yanez based this statement on the fact that the car had a marijuana odor.

On top of all that, he went back and forth on whether or not he clearly saw the gun in the vehicle.

The facts of this case don’t quite add up for Yanez to be cleared of all charges as he was. The smell of marijuana was treated as a strong justification for the officer fearing for his life, and his claims were believed over aspects in the case.

In the current political and social climate America finds itself in today, police officers are seemingly given a free pass to shoot an alarming number of black men with no consequences. America needs to realize its racial bias is turning disproportionately deadly. Philando Castile deserves justice. He did not deserve to die.

next morning after being taken into custody and questioned. She stated the officers did not check for a pulse or to see if Castile was breathing for several minutes after the shooting, but comforted Yanez.

It doesn’t take much to see that Castile and Reynolds were racially profiled when they were pulled over in the first place, stemming from the officer’s remarks about how they looked like robbery suspects solely based on a “wide-set nose”.

Second, Officer Yanez claims Castile kept reaching for his gun and wouldn’t tell him where it was, but if Castile and Reynolds both said out loud he wasn’t reaching for it while making it clear he was armed legally and only reaching for his license— coupled with the fact that his girlfriend and her child were in such close proximity—then why would Philando Castile reach for his gun and shoot the officer?

Thirdly, is less than 40 seconds enough time to firmly establish that Castile was preparing to shoot Yanez and not simply reaching for his license as was stated? Yanez shot not one, but seven shots, at a close range with a child in the back seat. Reynolds was forced to the ground, handcuffed and taken into custody.

Lastly, one of the most alarming questions yet—why would a 4-year-old child base

These books and drawings sometimes give us more context about the person writing it, rather than the animal itself.

LEAH WOOD JEWETT

Hill Memorial Library exhibitions coordinator

CREATURES, from page 3 photographs and books dating back to the 16th century, like the book on the Aztec emperor Cuauhtémoc’s animal farm.

Jewett’s favorite book in the exhibit was written and illustrated by well-respected scientist Maria Sibylla Merian.

Her book serves as a reminder of the impact people can have if they have enough passion fueling them.

Merian’s book is an example of a work being more than the sum of it’s parts. In the 1700s when it was published, Merian was at the forefront of women in science.

The book demonstrates the importance of having exhibits and maintaining a connection to history, Jewett said.

The exhibit offers manuscripts

LSU AG, from page 3 makes the AgCenter so unique.

“We have talked with many other states and programs about this and they’re all saying Louisiana is doing it right. We are assessing all data and looking at every component possible in order to get good research and data for the future out of this,” Grunewald said.

The plant will be located off campus and no one under the age of 21 will be employed at the plant. GB Sciences will be responsible for building the plant, producing the product and distributing the product to 10 licensed pharmacies around the state.

The AgCenter chose GB Science after creating a laundry list of things their ideal candidate would have. Seven

and first-hand accounts of numerous discoveries in the scientific world, from bird watching to animal experimentation.

However, the stories behind the items encased are just as important.

The displays show a connection between people today and those who lived centuries ago. They were trying to figure out their place in the world and began to curate the animal world in an attempt to better understand and explain their environment. Jewett encourages people to see the exhibit for a deeper understanding of the interconnectivity of people and animals.

Hill Memorial Library is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The exhibition is free and will be on display until Sept. 16. companies were interested and only four met the requirements. From the four, GB was ultimately chosen because of their interest in research.

Dr. Ashley Mullins works in External and Governmental Affairs and with Grunewald on the project. She said that the focus on research is what made GB stand out from the rest of the candidates.

Grunewald and Mullins believe that something valuable will be learned through this endeavor.

“Research doesn’t always give you the answer you want, but it does give you an answer. We don’t know what we will learn from this, you know whether it is very helpful for those who need it or not helpful at all. But we will learn something and the research component is very important in something like this,” Grunewald said.
