Ever since the South Carolina victories in 2010 and 2011, the team has won the Men’s College World Series in consecutive tournaments.
Vanderbilt is only one victory away from making history and becoming the sixth team to achieve a feat. The state of Mississippi, on the other hand, hopes to take two straight from Commodores to finally reach the pinnacle of the college baseball world and win its first national championship in the program.
The Bulldogs had a promising start on Monday, taking an early 1-0 lead, but a a seven-run spot in the lower half of the first inning he gave Vanderbilt and starting pitcher Jack Leiter everything they needed to claim the first game of the series.
The state of Mississippi on Tuesday won’t have to worry about Leiter. Kumar Rocker set up on Friday, so he will either be on a short break or will be held until Game 3 on Wednesday as needed. And the Bulldogs know their bull is capable of shutting down Commodores after allowing just one run and two goals in the last seven innings of the game on Monday.
Commodores could lead the series, but it’s too early to count the state of Mississippi. It will be Christian Little on the mound for Vanderbilt against Houston Harding from the state of Mississippi.
