Legislative action was interrupted by baseball action as lawmakers in both chambers erupted in cheers when LSU pulled off a dramatic victory in the College World Series.

A small television sits on each legislator's desk, and most in the House and Senate were tuned to LSU's game against Rice. Rep. Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, was at the microphone on the House floor -- discussing Flag Day -- when many of her colleagues were paying more attention to the game.

LSU trailed 5-3 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and Rep. Don Trahan gave Barrow some advice.

"Wait until after this batter," said Trahan, R-Lafayette.

Barrow continued talking but was drowned out by cheers as lawmakers celebrated the three-run double by Blake Dean that kept the Tigers alive.

In the Senate, senators stood up, cheering and hooting when LSU took the game. Debate on a controversial child support bill was temporarily interrupted for the celebration.

"Mr. President, I thought they were applauding my question," said Sen. Rob Marionneaux, D-Livonia, whose questions on the bill were disrupted by the applause.

"Fat chance," replied Senate President Joel Chaisson, D-Destrehan, laughing.
