Astros third baseman Alex Bregman hosted the Little League World Series champions from River Ridge, La. prior to Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Bregman, who played his college baseball at LSU, approached the group three hours before game time with one question.

“Did y’all see the Tigers won,” Bregman asked. LSU’s football team dismantled Vanderbilt, 66-38, earlier Saturday afternoon.
