Vandy was supposed to have to beat the whole NC State team twice to get in the finals and they ended up only having to beat half the team once. And they get to save Leiter for Game 1 too. No one outside of West End will recognize this title as legit if they end up “winning” it
After Texas and Mississippi State play today, both of those teams should head home, the winner can claim a national championship/have a celebration/hang a banner, and Vandy can be left alone in Omaha doing whatever it is that Vandy Boys do.
Sheer crap. We can have a packed stadium to watch said game, but we can't play the game? Makes sense. And now Vandy gets to throw both guys in a 3 game series. Sheer crap.
Here’s what he should have said: “We were really looking forward to playing another tough game against a great baseball team and it’s a shame this happened. We’ll keep playing because that’s what we came here to do, but I hate that these circumstances determined our advancement.”
Mississippi State with the walk-off hit to win the national championship. Congrats, cow school. Now kick the shit out of Vandy in the exhibition games.
Welp. State’s pitching completely no showed. Starter didn’t even finish the first inning and the guy who relieved him hasn’t been any better. Looks like Asterisk is going to cruise to a 1-0 series lead.
Watching Vandy, they have 2 great pitchers that carried them all year, and one shouldnt have been in position to pitch last night. Unimpressed with defense and the rest of the pitching staff. But they will throw Rocker out in the champ game
Really shocked by this. Happy for State. First title in any sport. Just as happy its Vandy getting whipped. Rocker got knocked out after 4. State pitcher has a no hitter thru 6
