Eric Olson | The Associated Press | June 15, 2014 Vanderbilt grinds out 5-3 win vs. Louisville Carson Fulmer struck out six and allowed two runs in 5.1 innings. Share OMAHA, Neb. -- Dansby Swanson doubled in two runs and Adam Ravenelle pitched 2.1 innings of shutout relief to help Vanderbilt beat Louisville 5-3 in the College World Series on Saturday night. The Commodores (46-19) won in a grinding, 3-hour, 40-minute game that saw Louisville (50-16) issue nine walks, its third-most of the season. One of the Cardinals' two wild pitches produced a Vanderbilt run. Another run, and a big one, came home on a passed ball after the Commodores saw their 4-0 lead shrink to 4-3 in the seventh. It looked like catcher Kyle Gibson was setting up for a pitch-out, but reliever Kyle McGrath pitched to the plate and Gibson let the ball get past him, allowing Vince Conde to score. 2014 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Top Performers: Day 8 Breeze: Trio stars in Vanderbilt's 10-inning thriller Photos Kroll: Garrido sums up UT loss: ‘It’s a cruel game’ Breeze: Pitching fuels UVa.'s run to CWS Finals Photos Kroll: Ole Miss' well runs dry in loss to Virginia Top Performers: Day 7 Cross: Texas takes advantage of Vandy mistakes Kroll: Hinojosa remains talk of town Photos Top Five Plays through first 10 games Top Performers: Day 6 Cross: Bianco's boys have perfected elimination game Kroll: Ole Miss advances behind Allen Photos Top Performers: Day 5 Kroll: Hinojosa's homer leads Longhorns Photos Cross: Hollingsworth tosses gem in second start of season UC Irvine's Morales finds inspiration in his sister Top Performers: Day 4 Kroll: Cavs find time for it all in win Photos Cross: Virginia shows off pitching depth in 15 innings Cross: Ole Miss makes most of chances Photos Kroll: Texas Tech beaten at own game as CWS run ends Ole Miss goes to the zoo Meet the Bortles brothers Top Performers: Day 3 Kroll: Vandy hits magic number for CWS win Photos Cross: Vanderbilt's Bueler answers the call in relief Kroll: Texas makes the plays Louisville can't Photos Cross: How bullpens will help decide the CWS Corey Ray & Ro Coleman: Chicago's Finest Top Performers: Day 2 Kroll: Kirby, Papi lead Virginia to victory Photos Kroll: Morrison makes his pitch on CWS stage Photos Higgins: Ole Miss fans flock to Omaha Hill: TD Ameritrade Park the stage -- and a star Higgins: Texas enjoys off day at team barbeque Hill: Plenty of dads spending Father's Day at the CWS Vanderbilt's antics in the outfield Top Performers: Day 1 Kroll: Vandy pushes right buttons in opening win Photos Hill: Louisville fans thrilled to be back in Omaha Higgins: Stirring pre-game ceremony marks Flag Day Kroll: UC Irvine debunks myth in Game 1 win Photos Hill: Despite team's fortunes, LSU fans show up in Omaha CWS grounds crew is Omaha's unsung home team Freshman, senior share thoughts on opening ceremony Kroll: Five questions to get to know players and coaches Higgins: Quizzing the coaches on CWS history Hill: Players and coaches discuss favorite sports movies Photo Essay: CWS contenders take their cuts Photo Essay: Talented players dot CWS landscape Team Capsules | Opening Round Matchups | Draft Picks Highlights | Brackets: Interactive Print Carson Fulmer (7-1) worked 5.1 innings for the win, and Ravenelle retired seven of the last eight Louisville batters for his first save. Kyle Funkhouser (13-3) took the loss. Vanderbilt will play Monday night against UC Irvine. The Cardinals will meet Texas in an elimination game in the afternoon. Louisville, the only returning team from the 2013 CWS, came to Omaha having won their past three against the Commodores. The Cardinals swept them in Super Regionals last year and beat them again last month. John Norwood scored the first of Vanderbilt's three runs in the second inning, coming home on Funkhouser's bases-loaded wild pitch. Swanson followed with his two-run double into the left-center gap. The Commodores led 4-0 after Bryan Reynolds tripled in Swanson in the fourth. Reynolds had made the catch of the day in the second when he went to the left-field wall to haul in a drive off the bat of Omaha native Grant Kay. The Cardinals pulled to 4-2 in the fifth against Fulmer, who got the start instead of first-round draft pick Tyler Beede. Sutton Whiting hit an RBI triple and scored on a groundout, and the Cardinals chased Fulmer after getting two runners on base in the sixth. Hayden Stone came on to end that threat, but he left in the seventh after Zach Lucas narrowly beat Norwood's throw to the plate on Nick Solak's hit to center to make it 4-3. Vanderbilt is in the CWS for the second time, and first since 2011. The Cardinals went 0-2 at last year's CWS, getting eliminated in an embarrassing 11-4 loss in which they committed four errors. They came to Omaha this week off five consecutive wins in the NCAA tournament.
