Mitchell Daly homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Kentucky a 5-4 win over North Carolina State on Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska, the third straight Men's College World Series game to end in walk-off fashion, as the Wildcats improved to 46-14.
OMAHA, Neb. -- Mitchell Daly homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Kentucky a 5-4 win over North Carolina State on Saturday, the third straight Men's College World Series game to end in walk-off fashion.
Kentucky , in its first MCWS, set a program record for wins in a season and will play Monday night against the winner of Saturday night's Florida-Texas A&M matchup. NC State will play the Florida-Texas A&M loser in an elimination game Monday afternoon. The Wolfpack went to the bottom of the ninth with a one-run lead in its first game in Omaha since a COVID-19 outbreak on the team led the NCAA to removing them from the 2021 MCWS after their third game.
"It feels good to be the ground floor of what we're trying to produce for this program," Nicholson said."This game is a really good starting point and a big confidence builder going forward. We didn't come here to be happy we're here. We came here to win games."The Wildcats got a runner to third after that but couldn't push him across. After Johnny Hummel pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 10th, the stage was set for Daly.
