College World Series 2018: Tuesday Scores, Winners and Bracket Results

There are three games on tap at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska on Tuesday, with one team's season guaranteed to end. 

The day's matchups will include North Carolina vs. Mississippi State, Florida vs. Texas and Arkansas vs. Texas Tech. Below, we'll break down the action.

Florida def. Texas, 6-1

The defending champion Florida Gators staved off elimination Tuesday, beating Texas 6-1 and keeping their title hopes alive for at least one more game.

Jackson Kowar earned the win for the Gators, pitching 6.2 innings of scoreless ball while striking out 13 Longhorns.

Third baseman Jonathan India provided the pop, meanwhile, ripping a homer and four RBI.

Blair Henley took the loss for Texas, though it was Chase Shugart (five runs allowed on six hits in 4.1 innings) against whom Florida did the bulk of its damage.

Florida opened up the game in the top of the sixth, scoring four runs on a Nelson Maldonado RBI single and India's three-run blast, his 21st of the year.

It isn't much of a surprise that India would pace the Gators, as he was selected No. 5 overall by the Cincinnati Reds in this month's MLB draft. He certainly looked the part of a future MLB slugger on Tuesday. And Florida—which came into the tournament as the No. 1 team overall—looked like a team capable of battling through the loser's bracket and defending its title. 

The Gators will next face the loser of Arkansas vs. Texas Tech.

Mississippi State def. North Carolina, 12-2

Jordan Westburg almost singlehandedly kept Mississippi State rolling through Omaha.

The Bulldogs designated hitter went 3-for-4 with seven RBI, two runs and a homer in Mississippi State's 12-2 blowout win over the North Carolina Tar Heels.

That offensive explosion, paired with pitchers Konnor Pilkington and Cole Gordon combining to give up just seven hits and two runs, was all the Bulldogs needed to remain in the winner's bracket. 

North Carolina was in the game through seven innings, trailing just 4-2. But Mississippi State exploded for eight runs in the top of the eighth, highlighted by Westburg's three-run double. 

The Tar Heels made three pitching changes in the inning to stop the bleeding, to no avail. 

Westburg, who came up with the team's good-luck charm, the "Rally Banana," didn't need to resort to luck on Tuesday. Instead, he bashed the Bulldogs into an ideal situation moving forward. After the game, he and his coach spoke about the performance:

North Carolina now faces Oregon State in an elimination game between two of the best teams in the nation this past season. Mississippi State will await the winner, though either the Tar Heels or Beavers will have to defeat the Bulldogs twice if they hope to advance to the final.
