Powell hit a tiebreaking RBI double to cap South Carolina's three-run eighth
inning and the Gamecocks eliminated Louisiana State.
The Gamecocks (45-21)
squandered a six-run first-inning lead and trailed by as many as three runs
before coming back to win the elimination game.
LSU (45-22-1) was knocked out
of the CWS in two games for only the second time in 12 appearances in Omaha.
The Gamecocks' comeback
started in the seventh when Kevin Melillo homered off Jason Determann to cut
LSU's lead to 10-8.
South Carolina tied it in the
eighth when Brian Buscher singled off reliever Billy Sadler (1-2) to score
Steven Tolleson. Right fielder Jon Zeringue misplayed the ball, allowing Jon
Coutlangus to score the tying run.
Powell, 3-for-5 with two RBIs,
followed with the go-ahead double into the left-center field gap, scoring
Buscher from first.

Burgos hit a tiebreaking triple in the seventh inning, and relievers Wes
Littleton and Chad Cordero held Stanford hitless over the last four innings
in Cal State Fullerton's 6-5 victory in the College World Series on Sunday
night.
Burgos' triple into the
right-field corner in the seventh scored P.J. Pilittere and knocked Stanford
starter Mark Romanczuk (12-1) out of the game.
The Titans (50-14) play again
Wednesday, when they take on the winner of Tuesday's elimination game
between Stanford (47-16) and South Carolina (45-21).
Littleton (7-3) took over for
starter Dustin Miller in the sixth and retired all six batters he faced.
Cordero, the 20th overall draft pick by Montreal, came on in the eighth and
struck out three for his eighth save.
Justin Turner was 3-for-3 with
three RBIs, and Pilittere and Jason Corapci were both 2-for-3 with an RBI
and two runs scored for the Titans.
