Florida vs. NC State: A Battle for Survival in Elimination Game at College World Series

Monday’s College World Series action will begin with an elimination game in the early afternoon, as Florida and N.C. State battle it out in Omaha. Both teams are fighting to stay in the tournament after losing their first-round games by a single run.
