Vanderbilt ran away in Game 1 of the College World Series finals on Monday to ultimately win the game 8-2. The Bulldogs countered on Tuesday with a blowout win of their own, jumping ahead in a four-run third inning and never taking their foot off the pedal to blow out the defending champion Commodores 13-2 to force a decisive Game 3 on Wednesday.
Vanderbilt pitching certainly did themselves no favors. Ten walks were issued during the outing — including eight by the first two pitchers, Christian Little and Patrick Reilly, who allowed six of the 13 runs during the day.
The Bulldogs had jumped out to an early lead when, after an error allowed Kamren James to reach first, Luke Hancock lined a single into right that allowed James to score. Commodore catcher CJ Rodriguez homered in the top of the second to tie the game, but the Bulldogs rocked Vanderbilt in the third, scoring first on a bases-loaded walk, then on an two-RBI single from Scotty Dubrule, who later scored on a wild pitch to take a 5-1 lead.
Mississippi State added a run on a fielder’s choice in the fourth inning and two more on back-to-back RBI singles from James and Hancock to make it an 8-1 lead. With the game well out of hand, the Bulldogs tacked on five more in the seventh to extend the lead out to 13-1.
Now the attention turns to Wednesday as three of the best arms in college baseball await possible usage. Vanderbilt’s Kumar Rocker hasn’t pitched since Friday against N.C. State, while Mississippi State starter Will Bednar and reliever Landon Sims haven’t pitched since Saturday against Texas.
