With the two days of the 2013 College World Series complete, Monday marks the beginning of a new round of play in Omaha.
College World Series 2013 schedule: Oregon State and Louisville looking to stay alive Monday
The second round of games in Omaha pits Louisville and Oregon State against each other in the tournament’s first elimination game, while Mississippi State and Indiana meet in the winners’ bracket.
Louisville and Oregon State get the day started with an elimination game at 3 p.m. ET. Louisville dropped it’s CWS opener against Indiana, while Oregon State missed a walk-off homer by a matter of feet to lose to Mississippi State. Louisville has very strong pitching and puts a lot of pressure on defenses with its running game, while the Beavers field perhaps the strongest rotation in the country and are powered at the plate by All-American Michael Conforto.
Mississippi State and Indiana will face off later in the evening in the winners’ bracket. After a surprising defensive win over Louisville on Saturday, Indiana will be looking to reignite its high-powered offense against Mississippi State. The Bulldogs will counter with a deep and talented bullpen that has carried it through a late season surge that has them just two wins away from the CWS finals.
