Georgia, Miami win at CWS

Matt Cerione’s two-out, bases-loaded single drove in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and three Georgia pitchers combined for six innings of shutout relief to lead the Bulldogs to a 4-3 victory over Stanford in the College World Series on Monday night.
The Bulldogs (43-23-1) took control of Bracket 1 and will wait until Friday to play the winner of Wednesday’s Miami-Stanford game. A win in that game would send Georgia to the best-of-three championship round that begins next Monday.
Stephen Dodson, Alex McRee (7-1) and Joshua Fields held Stanford to a single and four other baserunners after starter Nick Montgomery left in the fourth inning.

Miami 7, Fla. St. 5.
Jemile Weeks hit his second home run of the College World Series, closer Carlos Gutierrez worked out of a bases-loaded situation in the ninth inning and Miami held off Florida State in a Bracket 1 elimination game on Monday.
The Seminoles banged out 18 hits — four by national player of the year Buster Posey — but they left 17 runners on base to set a CWS record for a nine-inning game.
Miami, the No. 1 national seed, plays Wednesday against the winner of Monday night’s game between Stanford and Georgia. The Hurricanes (53-10) have not gone two-and-out in 20 CWS appearances since 1979. FSU (54-14) leaves Omaha after two games for the fourth time in 13 appearances under coach Mike Martin.
Ryan Jackson went 3-for-4 and Dennis Raben and Jason Hagerty joined Weeks in driving in two runs apiece for the Hurricanes, who have beaten FSU in three of four meetings this season.
The Seminoles had no problem hitting the four pitchers they faced, but they had lots of trouble pushing across runs.
They looked as if they might break through in the ninth against Gutierrez, whose two-run throwing error in the ninth inning Saturday was part of a Miami implosion that led to a 7-4 loss to Georgia.
Gutierrez got out of trouble this time after the Seminoles scored three runs on four singles and two walks. After Gutierrez walked Posey to load the bases, he got Jack Rye to ground out to Weeks to end the game.
