Mississippi State won the school's first national championship in any sport Wednesday night at the College World Series, doing so with a big maroon exclamation point.
Will Bednar and Landon Sims combined on a one-hitter as the Bulldogs defeated defending-champion Vanderbilt 9-0 at TD Ameritrade Park. The victory was in front of 24,052 — most wearing Mississippi State maroon.
"It's been a long year and our guys had their backs against the wall," Bulldog coach Chris Lemonis said. "But they never gave up and we're the last one standing."
Mississippi State lost the first game of the best-of-three final series 8-2 but won the final two games by a combined score of 22-2.
