In the Stanford regional, Stanford beat Texas 7-6 in extra innings to advance to the College World Series. Joey Dixon improved to 8-2 on the year. The Cardinal avoided being eliminated by Quinn Matthews’ complete game.
Tennessee won the final CWS berth with a 5-0 shutout over Southern Miss. The Volunteers beat the Golden Eagles and moved on to Omaha.
