Dak Prescott wasn\u2019t the one to get it done. It was the 2021 baseball team, battling through the trials and tribulations of Covid-19, to find a way to bring a national championship back to Starkville, Mississippi.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>They took down Notre Dame in the Super Regionals, won a winner-take-all game against Texas to advance to the CWS final, and \u2014 after losing the first game against Vanderbilt \u2014 won back-to-back games to beat the heavily favored Commodores.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen you\u2019re going to do something legendary for the first time, it was going to have to be tough,\u201d head coach Chris Lemonis <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/baseball\/cws\/story\/_\/id\/31741320\/mississippi-state-throws-combined-one-hitter-vanderbilt-win-first-college-world-series-title\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cThe reason we are champions is we just have a really tough, resilient group. It\u2019s been built over time. It\u2019s the accumulation of the last three years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Wednesday night in Omaha, the celebration started early.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Mississippi State jumped on Vanderbilt star pitcher Kumar Rocker from the start, scoring three runs in the first two innings. A four-run seventh inning got the party started, capped off by a three-run homer run by Kellum Clark, and Vanderbilt never was able to get anything going on the base paths.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more happy for a team, a town, a fan base, the whole state of Mississippi, except Oxford, of course,\u201d SEC player of the year Tanner Allen <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/baseball\/cws\/story\/_\/id\/31741320\/mississippi-state-throws-combined-one-hitter-vanderbilt-win-first-college-world-series-title\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cThose guys are always on my back. So I had to take a shot at them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis team overcame everything, man. From getting swept at home in front of 10,000 versus Arkansas to Missouri coming in and taking a series from us and then getting embarrassed at the SEC tournament. We just kept playing and playing. You blink an eye, we\u2019re national champions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bulldogs pitcher Will Bednar was brilliant on three days rest, retiring 15 in a row at one point. Bednar went six complete innings, striking out four without giving up a hit. Vanderbilt ended Mississippi State\u2019s no-hitter bid in the eighth inning, but it was the only hit Vanderbilt would muster on the evening. It was the first one-hitter at the College World Series since 2014.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A no-hitter would have been nice, but it ultimately didn\u2019t matter.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In their 12th CWS appearance, the Bulldogs finally were able to claim Omaha as their own.
