Dylan Crews pays homage to LSU great Angel Reese with a "ring me" gesture as Tigers capture Seventh National Baseball Championship

Angel Reese expressed her gratitude on Twitter when star outfielder Dylan Crews performed the "Ring Me" celebration. The moment came after Crews hit a triple in the Tigers' 18-4 victory against Florida in Game 3 of the College World Series on Monday. The baseball club added more hardware to the school's trophy cabinet.

Reese was a crucial part of LSU's first women's basketball title earlier this year. She was overjoyed to see the baseball team follow suit as the Tigers destroyed Florida to cap a memorable season in which they went 54-17.

In an on-field interview after the win, Dylan Crews said:

“I got caught up in the moment. I saw Joe Burrow do it [ring me gesture]. 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.”

Dylan Crews is one of the finest collegiate hitters in recent memory. Crews, anticipated to go first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, has hit .426/.567/.713 with 18 home runs in 71 games for the Tigers.
