#14 Auburn Shocks #2 Stanford While Ole Miss Underdog Story Continues at College World Series

The College World Series is heating up this week in Omaha, and two teams from the final eight are already eliminated. No. 14 Auburn took out No. 2 Stanford (6-2), eliminating the top-ranked team at the World Series. A few hours later, Ole Miss continued their magic run with a win over Arkansas (13-5). Only six teams are still alive — three from each bracket — with more elimination games on the way today.
