Friday’s Scores

Vanderbilt 3, NC State 1: Vanderbilt picked up the win against a decimated NC State squad. The Wolpack were forced to play without 14 players due to health and safety protocols after a number of players tested positive for COVID-19. Normally Vanderbilt would have to win again to advance to the final but Saturday’s elimination game was called off due to COVID-19 protocols at the CWS. NC State’s season ends abruptly at 37-19.

Texas 8, Mississippi State 5: Texas forced an elimination game on Saturday against the Bulldogs with a three run 9th inning. After two Longhorns reached on walks, Ivan Melendez belted a homer to bring 3 runs across. That three run lead held up in the bottom half for the Horns after a nearly 2 and a half hour rain delay.
