After another late-night win impacted by a rain delay, the Texas Longhorns have survived three elimination games and now sit one more victory away from advancing to the College World Series finals to face the Vanderbilt Commodores.
But the Longhorns need to get past the Mississippi State Bulldogs at 6 p.m. Central on ESPN2 to play for a national championship.
And Bulldogs ace Will Bednar and star reliever Landon Sims stand in the way after Mississippi State officially announced Bednar as the starter on Saturday afternoon.
Bednar only allowed one hit and one walk with 15 strikeouts over 6.
