FSU vs Bichigan Monday night

2 of the last 4 teams in the field of 64...should be a good one!

Vanderbilt, behind two home rums from 3B Austin Martin, beats Louisville 3-1 in the first game of the other bracket.

Auburn currently leads Miss St. 2-0 in the nightcap goimg into the bottom of the third.

An error by Auburn's 3B allowed the tying run to score and a bases loaded single off the pitcher's glove completed a four run bottom of ninth comeback win for Miss St.

Michigan is absolutely shocking the world. One of the last 4 teams to get into the tournament. They defeated the defending champs in regionals. Defeated the #1 overall seed in the super regional. And are sitting at 2-0 in the CWS.

Arkansas is the first team to be eliminated.

That was a good pitcher's duel between Henry and Van Eyk of FSU. Hoping for a rematch but...Texas Tech comes first.

Good timing for me....

Louisville holds on and eliminates Auburn 5-3

Now back to work.

A five run 5th inning was all Vandy needed as they hang on to beat Miss St. 6-3

The Bulldogs will face Louisville tomorrow night in another elimination game from Pool B. Winner will have to defeat Vandy twice to advance to championship series.

Sorry I'm late...been busy at work.

Texas Tech ended the Seminoles run..winning 4-1. The Red Raiders will play Bichigan Friday night. The team from Ann Arbor only need a win to advance to championship series.

Thank you, Mike Martin for 40 years at the helm for the Noles!! 40...40 win seasons...24 of them were 50+win seasons.

Miss St. is up on Louisville 2-0 halfway thru the game.

Louisville rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth to eliminate Miss St. 4-3. Prior to that...Miss St. was 47-0 when leading after 8 while Louisville was 1-16 when trailing.

Texas Tech and Bichigan square off at 2 pm...Louisville and Vandy play at 7 pm. Both Bichigan and Vandy need one win to advance to championship series.

The CWS Finals will be between Michigan and Vanderbilt, in a best-of-3 series. Monday-Wednesday.

Who will go home national champions? Michigan for the first time since 1962, or Vanderbilt for the first time since 2014.
