By Gabriel Wiest —

The Cardinals (51-17) won their second straight College World Series elimination game against Mississippi State (52-14) at 4-3.

Coming off of a 5-3 win against Auburn it was clear Louisville was not going to be eliminated without a fight.

The game started off with a three inning stalemate. Nick Bennett pitched the first four innings, earning an ERA of 4.40.

At the top of the fourth the Bulldogs struck iron with two runs and no answer from the Cards.

The Bulldogs then came back with another run made at the top of the seventh inning.
