Notable Results

Mississippi State Wins Rubber Match over Oklahoma

After Oklahoma earned an impressive 20-10 win over Mississippi State in their first game of the tournament, the Bulldogs had to fight their way back through the elimination bracket but got back to the regional final.

The No. 2 seed forced an extra game with a 13-5 win Sunday and then closed things out with an easy 8-1 win Monday.

JP France was the star on the mound, allowing just one run in seven innings to send his team to the next round.

Oklahoma showcased some impressive fielding throughout the day to remain competitive:

Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to keep down an offense that got at least one hit from eight of the nine players in the lineup. Leadoff hitter Jake Mangum hit the lone home run, but the Bulldogs were circling the bases all day long.

The team will now face Vanderbilt in an all-SEC super regional.

Duke, Tennessee Tech Win 2 Games Each to Reach Super Regional

Both Duke and Tennessee Tech needed to win two games to stay alive and win their region, and both came through, although in very different ways.

Duke trailed Georgia 4-1 early in Game 1 before the offense came alive. The squad tied things up in the sixth inning before slugger Griffin Conine took the lead with his 16th home run of the season:

The Blue Devils extended their lead and eventually held on for an 8-5 win.

They trailed again in the second game of the day, but a five-run third inning helped Duke pull away. Connine hit two more home runs, giving him 18 on the year, and Georgia simply didn't have the pitching depth necessary to win.

Although the Bulldogs were dominant offensively at the start of this tournament, the top-seeded team in the region couldn't get the one win it needed Monday.

Meanwhile, Tennessee Tech built up a 10-0 lead in its first game thanks in part to this three-run shot from Chase Chambers:

The designated hitter finished 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs and four RBI.

Ole Miss fought back with five runs in a two-out rally in the eighth, but the Golden Eagles kept the pedal down and completed a 15-5 win.

Game 2 was much lower scoring, with Nick Osborne, Devin Lancaster and Travis Moths combining for a strong effort on the mound. Tennessee Tech scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning on a sacrifice fly before closing out the narrow win.

Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of celebration from the underdogs:

Duke will face Texas Tech in the super regional while Tennessee Tech will matchup up against Texas.
