DURHAM, N.C. -- Luke Mistone hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning, Graham Kelham was solid in another long relief appearance, and Murray State beat Duke 5-4 on Monday night in a winner-take-all championship game at the Durham Super Regional to advance to the program's first Men's College World Series.

Murray State (44-15) became the fourth No. 4 seed to advance to Omaha, Nebraska.
