In a matchup fitting for a Saturday afternoon in the SEC, Tennessee defeated Georgia 4-0 in the day's first semifinal.

The story was Tennessee's pitching and defense, as Nash Carter set the early tone on the mound and never looked back. Throw in some excellent defense and multiple diving catches behind him, and Georgia's offense didn't have much of chance as it was eliminated.

Three runs in the bottom of the second inning was enough run support, and Tennessee's Williamsport dreams are still alive.

Monday wasn't all about pitching duels, as Nebraska cruised past Kansas with a convincing 9-3 victory.

Hagan Gates was the star with an inside-the-park home run in the top of the third inning on a towering fly ball to right field.

Perhaps nobody in Monday's entire slate was a bigger star than Mason Amergian, who led Maine to a 7-1 victory over Massachusetts by doing a bit of everything.

He struck out six as a pitcher and launched a grand slam as a hitter while doing his best Shohei Ohtani impression.

In terms of excitement, it was difficult to top Kentucky's 7-6 win over Indiana, which ended when Eli Scott scored on a walk-off wild pitch.
