A record number of viewers tuned in to coverage of the Men's College World Series to see LSU defeat Florida and win its seventh baseball title.
More than 8 million people watched the three game event, with more than 3.5 million tuning in for Monday night's decisive Game Three.
Last year's title game brought in just 1.9 million viewers.

The series began with an 11-inning nail biter that LSU won 4-3. Florida's bats came roaring back in Game Two, beating LSU 24-4, the most lopsided game in CWS history.
But LSU got even Monday with an 18-4 drubbing of its own that landed them the title.
