Angel Reese loves Dylan Crews’ LSU ‘ring me’ gesture at College World Series: ‘Heard you’
It’s safe to say Angel Reese is enjoying seeing her fellow LSU Tigers capture another national title.
When star outfielder Dylan Crews did the “ring me” celebration after hitting a triple in the Tigers’ 18-4 victory in Game 3 over Florida to win the College World Series on Monday, Reese took to Twitter to show appreciation for the baseball team adding some more hardware to the school’s trophy case.
“Heard youuuu,” she tweeted. “I love it hereee.”
Reese, who was a key component of LSU’s first women’s basketball championship earlier this year, was thrilled to see the baseball team follow suit, as the Tigers demolished Florida to end a special season in which they went 54-17.
“Baseball team national champs too???” she tweeted earlier. “Heard youuuu. Congratssss”
Crews’ celebration began with another acclaimed Tiger: Joe Burrow, who pointed to his ring finger during the 2020 College Football Playoff Championship game, when LSU defeated Clemson and Burrow cemented his legacy as an all-time LSU quarterback.
“I got caught up in the moment,” Crews said in an on-field interview after the win. “I saw Joe Burrow do it. I saw [Angel] Reese do it from women’s basketball. I just had to do it to get the crowd going to get the team going”
Crews, widely expected to be taken first overall in the upcoming MLB Draft, hit .421/.564/.706 with 18 home runs in 70 games for the Tigers this year, emerging as one of the better college hitters in recent memory.
He complements a star-studded LSU team that also features ace Paul Skenes, a right-hander who has touched 102 mph with his fastball and is also expected to be taken at the very front of the upcoming draft.
The Tigers emerge as national champions after only losing two games from the NCAA Regional onwards, dropping one contest to Wake Forest and another in the best-of-3 final against Florida.
It is the seventh national championship for the baseball team all-time.
Reese, who currently training with Team USA for the Women’s AmeriCup, averaged 23 points and 15.4 rebounds after transferring to LSU last season.
