The two teams that had yet to suffer a loss during the College World Series advanced to the Best of 3 Final by winning the Friday Semifinal match-ups. Michigan and Vanderbilt will square off starting on Monday and no games will need to be played on Saturday. Here’s a look at how it happened.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Michigan scored in all but one inning against a struggling Texas Tech pitching staff and beat the Red Raiders 15-3 to continue its improbable postseason run. The Wolverines’ next stop is the College World Series finals starting Monday. Jimmy Kerr homered twice and had four hits, Jesse Franklin had three hits and four RBIs and the Wolverines scored double-digit runs for the 20th time this season.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Pat DeMarco chopped a grounder over third base in the ninth inning to give Vanderbilt its first lead and the Commodores beat Louisville 3-2 to advance to the College World Series finals. The Commodores will play Michigan in the best-of-three finals starting Monday night.

Game one of the best of three final will be held at 6:00pm on Monday at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha and will be televised on ESPN.
