College World Series: Virginia lives to see another day

In a must win game, unsung heroes come up big for the Hoos as they defeat the Vanderbilt Commodores 3-0 to force a deciding Game 3.

Nathan Kirby, Connor Jones, Brandon Waddell. Matt Thaiss, Kenny Towns, Joe McCarthy. Nope. This night belonged to Adam Haseley, Ernie Clement, and Thomas Woodruff. In a season where surprises have met the Hoos at every turn, who would have thought that Adam Haseley would provide five innings of shutout ball and Ernie Clement and Thomas Woodruff would go 3-4 and deliver the games biggest hits. First Clement with a two out single to put the Hoos ahead 1-0, followed by a two RBI single by Woodruff to put the game out of reach and send the College World Series to winner take all game three.
