PRESENTED BY Virginia, in the College World Series for the third time, will go to the championship round against Vanderbilt for its first national championship in baseball.

Likewise, Vanderbilt will be competing for its first baseball championship. The Commodores(49-20)outlasted Texas 4-3 in 10 innings on Saturday night. For the Cavaliers and Commodores, the final bracket-play games were microcosms of their seasons: pitching and timely hitting led to victory. AB R H RBI BB SO PO A LOB AVG. 4 0 2 2 0 1 7 1 0 .280 Virginia, which had been batting .091 in the CWS with runners in scoring position, took a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning after loading the bases. Robbie Coman, making his 26th start, drove a single into right field for two runs, and another came home on Branden Cogswell's squeeze bunt. “I'm sure I was a little nervous to start,” Coman said. “You get second opportunities in this game and I really wanted to take advantage of it. But I was just trying to hit to the situation. Wasn't trying to do too much, just a usable pitch that I could send somewhere in the outfield and it worked out for the best.” IP H R ER BB SO BF ERA 5.2 3 1 1 1 8 20 1.76 Freshman Hayden Stone (3-0) struck out eight in 5.2 innings of relief as Vanderbilt defeated Texas 4-3 in 10 innings.
