White Sox pick Carson Fulmer pitches Vanderbilt to Game 1 win

Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin doesn't get into ranking the performances of his ace Carson Fulmer.

Rest assured, most of them are pretty good.

Fulmer was sensational again Monday night while limiting Virginia to two hits over 7 2/3 shutout innings in the Commodores' 5-1 victory in the opener of the College World Series finals.

Vanderbilt (51-19) can repeat as national champion with one more win. The Commodores will send Phil Pfeifer (6-4) to the mound Tuesday night. Virginia coach Brian O'Connor said he wouldn't decide on a starter until the morning.

Fulmer led Vanderbilt to the brink of the title with another outstanding performance.
