This year's NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament began with 64 teams, and now the field has been whittled down to two. The College World Series champion will be determined Wednesday night as Vanderbilt and Mississippi State meet in a winner-take-all Game 3. Vanderbilt is looking for its second consecutive title, while Mississippi State is trying to capture its first national championship.
The Commodores won the 2019 title, and the 2020 College World Series was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Vanderbilt advanced to the finals in unusual fashion as NC State was eliminated from the tournament due to NCAA COVID protocols. NC State and Vanderbilt were set to play Saturday, but the game was ruled a no-contest. Mississippi State, meanwhile, beat Texas in walk-off fashion on Saturday night to reach the finals.
Here are all the 2021 College World Series scores, as well as the TV schedule for the best-of-three finals.
