Vandy and Vols Split Opening Games at College World Series

June 21, 2021

The teams from Tennessee split the opening round of the 2021 College World Series over the weekend in Omaha, Nebraska.

It took twelve innings, but the Vanderbilt Commodores overcame a scrappy Arizona team 7-6 Saturday evening to move into the winners bracket of group 1. The Commodores will face NC State Monday night at 6:00.

Tennessee’s bats were silenced by Virginia Sunday afternoon in a 6-0 shutout loss to the Cavaliers. The Vols now drop in the loser’s bracket in group 2 and must knock off Texas Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 to keep their season alive.

Other games at the College World Series include Stanford and Arizona in an elimination game Monday afternoon at 1:00 and Virginia and Mississippi State in the winner’s bracket Tuesday at 6:00.

All Games are on the ESPN Family of Networks.
