At 2 a.m. Saturday, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announced on Saturday that there would be no match between NC State and Vanderbilt due to Covid-19 protocols, adding the Commodore to the CWS Championship round.

Vanderbilt will face the winner of Saturday night’s closing final match between the states of Texas and Mississippi.

The NCAA said the decision to reject the NC state was based on the recommendation of the Championship Medical Committee and the Douglas County (Nebraska) Department of Health.

“The NCAA and the Committee regret that NC State’s student-athletes and coaching staff could not continue in the championship they were entitled to participate in,” the statement said. “We are unable to provide further details due to privacy issues.”

The Corona virus outbreak has canceled numerous games at college games since March 2020, but on Saturday, three teams were eliminated from the NCAA Championship game due to the Covid-19: the Virginia Commonwealth men’s basketball team, the Rice women’s volleyball team and the Michigan men’s hockey team.
