The Mississippi State baseball team fell 1.2 innings short of a historic combined no-hitter. They'll settle for the first NCAA team championship in Bulldogs history.
Riding a dominant showing on both offense and defense, Mississippi State defeated Vanderbilt 9-0 in Game 3 of the 2021 College World Series to capture the school's first baseball title, and the school's first title in any team sport overall.

Didn’t the chicks win basketball one year?
I think they beat UCONN in the semifinals on a buzzer beater ending a long streak by UCONN, only to lose in the finals...
Gotcha, thanks.
Not according to the article and reporters never make mistakes.
LOL, true.
Hail State!
I don’t keep up with baseball, but i still like hearing about people getting together in big groups and having a good time together. That’s what you’re supposed to do during the summertime, at some point in your life.
That’s another sign of life settling back into normal, benign routines.
Fun for the whole family!
Truthfully I wouldn't have even known the CWS was going on without the DQ for covid. But Fauxi's presence raises a stink to the optics as always.
Such a pleasure to watch great players that worked hard be successful. No kneeling, no lectures - just baseball.
Now I can look forward to getting the SEC package for baseball next year. MLB is dead to me.
The Bulldogs once had a team that fielded Will Clark, Raphael Palmeiro, and Bobby Thigpen together and still didn’t win it. I feel bad for the NC Wolfpack who got tossed out of the tourney because of the soy boys at the NCAA overreacting to COVID “protocol”. But congrats Miss. State.
Congratulations to MSU. I remember when they had Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro on the same team and didn’t win it.
College Baseball is underrated. I mean, people talk about college football and basketball, but baseball, especially in New England has great teams. UConn, opened their new stadium this year and some areas are named for UConn baseball players, IIRC.
MS Ping
We’ve been following along during the post season and hoping Mississippi State would make it through, and they did! They’re a fun bunch to watch and seem like a good group of guys. I loved seeing how Mississippi State fans showed up in force in Omaha. Looked like they were having a great time.
I remember watching Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro and Bobby Thigpen and Jeff Brantley play in the CWS many years ago.
12th time is a charm
They have ha a lot of good teams that got far
Congratulations
Cowbells will be ringing in Starkville. Glad the Dawgs won.
HAIL YEAH STATE!!!!
and I’m an Ole Miss fan. So proud of those boys, though. They deserved it.
I’m surprised that’s their first title, they’ve been one of the powers of College Baseball for years, they’ve produced a lot of MLB players.
