 In the Box: Branden Cogswell had his team-leading 19th multi-hit game of the season on Monday. He went 3-for-4 and is now hitting .350 in the NCAA tournament. |

| Pepper: If Vanderbilt wins on Tuesday, it will win its first College World Series title in program history. The Commodores have one other national championship in all sports (2007, bowling). If Virginia wins, it forces a winner-take-all Game 3 on Wednesday. • Before giving up nine runs in an inning on Monday, Virginia had not allowed more than eight runs all season. Opponents reached eight twice in 2014 (Feb. 14 vs. Kentucky, April 29 vs. Old Dominion). • Vanderbilt had scored nine or more runs 16 times this season. The Commodores' nine in an inning was the most since TD Ameritrade Park opened. • Virginia is 2-5 against the SEC in the College World Series and 4-0 against all other conferences. • Vanderbilt is 26-for-33 in stolen bases in the NCAA tournament, including 14 in the CWS. Opponents are 1-for-4. |
