OMAHA, Neb. – You’re Vanderbilt, and Omaha has turned loud and ominous. So what now?
You had the chance to clinch the College World Series, but Mississippi State’s offense broke loose like one of those afternoon Nebraska thunderstorms and the game turned into a sink of dirty dishes for your side. It ended 13-2 Tuesday night, the most lopsided CWS defeat in school history, and could have been even worse. The pitching numbers were gruesome: 10 walks, four wild pitches, two hit batters, 14 hits. It took 139 Vanderbilt pitches just to get through five innings. If the Bulldogs hadn’t left 14 runners on base, goodness knows what the final margin could have been.

Jud Fabian stepped up to the plate for his first at-bat, ready to face one of the top pitchers in the SEC.
With two men on, no outs and down in the count 1-2, the center fielder eyed the pitch, and the crack of his bat rang out.
The Florida Ballpark crowd, hungry for redemption after Friday’s loss, erupted in a thunderous roar as the ball sailed easily over the left-field wall and into the visiting bullpen.
