The final game of the night pits Cortland and Salisbury. Salisbury will only need one win to advance to meet St. Thomas in the Championship Series, Cortland will need to win tonight to force a second game on Monday and win on Monday.
Wheaton has an early lead over Cortland but as Rowan found out last night, Cortland can explode any time. The Red Dragons will have to score late to avoid elimination and earn a repeat date with Salisbury. The Red Dragons did just that, scoring two in the seventh for a tie and four in the ninth to win the game 6-4 and advance to play Salisbury.
The game between St. Thomas and Washington was very much like their contest yesterday so it was not a surprise to see it a close affair. St. Thomas led early and then late as they defeated No. 1 Washington Tniversity 6-4 to advance to the D-III Championship Series.
Sunday opens with an elimination game with the winner facing the undefeated team in their bracket. Washington University is looking in early returns like they want a rematch with St. Thomas as they have been dominate over the early innings. WashU used a five run ninth to close out a 16-5 win over Adrian. Adrain is eliminated fron the 2021 D-III College World Series.
The third game of the day will be the elimination game in bracket two with the winner playing the late game. If either of the undefeated teams heading into Sunday lose, there will be a second bracket championship game on Monday with the Championship series opening on Tuesday.
