Johnson's Ninth-Inning Homer Upsets Top-Ranked Tigers, 3-1

Illinois (6-1) used impressive pitching and ninth-inning dramatics to defeat No. 1 LSU (9-1), 3-1, at the Tigers' brand-new Alex Box Stadium. With one on, two outs and the game tied 1-1 in the ninth, catcher Aaron Johnson wasted no time becoming the hero, launching a first-pitch slider into the video board above the wall in left center, which quieted the 10,246 sell-out crowd.
