Prodigious: excessive in size or quantity
Clout: strike hard, especially with the fist
Prodigious Clout: Cameron Rupp's 9th inning homer off Mitchell Lambson.
Add Craig Way to the list of folks that stepped up last night with the game on the line. Then there was Connor Rowe's homer, which can only be defined as a "walk off" shot, the first in Omaha since Chance Wheeless went yard in 2005.
Some other great quotes from last night:
Cameron Rupp: "I knew it right away."
Connor Rowe: "That's the best moment of my life I can remember. Maybe being born was better, but I can't remember that."
Austin Wood: "I've never seen a ball hit that far. Never. Not even close."
Augie Garrido: "I think LSU has played the best baseball in this tournament all around. They've been the most consistent team in the tournament. If it's about drama, we've got that."
And finally, Garrido again:
[Update]: Here's the video of the Rupp home run and the Rowe home run. Watch them. Again and again and again. Tip of the hat to utexasclan for posting them and bassale47 for finding them.

ESPNU
I’d love to get this, but as best I can tell it’s only available at DirecTV with the $100/mo ‘everything’ package or with a college sports subscription (for what?).

it cost me $79/mo
included with roadrunner… i’m watching the rerun at the bottom of the 9th inning.. After Travis Tucker made a bad throw to the 1st base & then, Keyes can’t catch that damn fly ball…looking for the build up climax at the bottom inning….

Ain't technology great
I got to watch the first several innings on Justin.tv aboard a Delta flight from Atlanta to Houston, then after landing, horndudette gave me pitch-by-pitch via cell until I got home in the top of the 9th. It’s awesome how accessible our ’horns can be if you work at it.
Bring it, Tigers!

Awesome game last night...
There was nothing “small ball” about Rowe, Rupp and the 9th inning last night. That was dramatic and just awesome… Hook’em Horns – Gore the Tigers!!!

I wasn't at the game
but I did watch it with an ASU alum at my house. Let’s just say he didn’t talk his trash after Rowe’s swing in the 9th. He quietly got up from his chair, meekly said goodnight and walked straight out the door. Hopefully we’re still friends today.
Hook’em

Great quote.
Connor Rowe: “That’s the best moment of my life I can remember. Maybe being born was better, but I can’t remember that.”

Yeah, that's classic.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - June 20, 2009
From a 9th batter...incredible

I love how
seconds before our first home run earlier in the game the announcers had just barely finished comparing Leake to Greg Maddux. Classic.
