Mississippi State and Vanderbilt were Sunday winners in College World Series games in Omaha Sunday.
Marshall Gilbert hit a bases-loaded single up the middle that capped a four-run ninth inning and gave Mississippi State a 5-4 walk-off victory over Auburn. The No. 6 national seed Bulldogs threatened time and again before finally breaking through in the ninth for its sixth straight win in the NCAA Tournament.
Austin Martin homered on Reid Detmers’ first pitch of the game and he went deep again in the seventh to break a tie in Vanderbilt’s 3-1 victory over Louisville. No. 2 national seed Vanderbilt (55-11) set a program record for wins and improved to 4-0 in its CWS openers.
