The 2021 college baseball season comes down to tonight when Mississippi State and Vanderbilt meet in Game 3 of the College World Series finals. Cumbest came out late last night after getting hit in the wrist by a pitch. Something to note in MSU's starting lineup is that Brayland Skinner is in for Brad Cumbest.
Here are the starting lineups for tonight's matchup. Bednar will be on just three days of rest, but Landon Sims will be available out of the bullpen. Vandy's hard-throwing righty that won MOP in their 2019 national title run, and Bednar, who has been close to unstoppable in his two starts in the CWS. Tonight, we have the matchup that we have all been waiting for. But, the Bulldogs flipped the narrative last night with a 13-2 win and a strong outing for Houston Harding and Preston Johnson. Game 1 saw an 8-2 win for Vanderbilt after a seven-run inning in the bottom of the first for the Commodores and Jack Leiter on the mound.
