Let’s start top 5th, 5-0 UCLA but runners at the corners for Mississippi State. UCLA starter Nick Vander Tuig was a 6th round pick in 2013 Draft (Giants). The batter he’s facing right now, Adam Fraizer, leads the NCAA with 106 hits. Let’s go! Fraizer watches strike 1 go by and then, 2nd pitch from Vander Tuig and Fraizer fouls it off. 3rd pitch from Vander Tuig is high but Fraizer swings and…misses! Strike 3! then Vander Tuig strikes out the next batter! Bottom 8th now, 6-0 UCLA, bases loaded for the Bruins and Eric Filia grounder to right for a 2RBI double! and UCLA is up 8-0!!! Top 9th, 2 outs if Mississippi State gets out here UCLA wins it all! Matthew Britton batting for Mississippi State…and he grounds out! UCLA wins the 2013 CWS title!
