College World Series 2011 Bracket Update: Florida, South Carolina In Control
We're down to crunch-time in the College World Series and two teams hold a distinct advantage. The South Carolina Gamecocks and Florida Gators survived the first four days without a loss and will be in the driver's seat on the road to the final road. Both teams must only win once more while the four other teams still in contention must win three times without losing.
In the top-half of the bracket, North Carolina and Vanderbilt will square-off in an elimination game on Wednesday. The winner of that game moves forward to face Florida and must beat the Gators twice in as many days. Vanderbilt dropped a rain-delayed game to the Gators on Tuesday morning to begin the fourth day of the College World Series.
On the bottom-half of the bracket, the news is worse for Virginia and California. The Cavaliers and Golden Bears will battle it out on Thursday in an elimination game, but the path to the final round of the College World Series is grueling for both teams. The winner of Thursday's game will have to come back Friday and beat South Carolina to stay alive, then must beat the Gamecocks again on Saturday to advance.
Texas and Texas A&M were both eliminated after dropping two-straight games to open the College World Series. The full bracket and schedule can be found here.

College World Series Scores: South Carolina Hammers Virginia, 7-1
South Carolina scored early and often in Tuesday's College World Series matchup with Virginia, cruising to a 7-1 win. The Gamecocks came out with a flash, scoring three runs in the first to take an early lead. With Virginia unable to answer, the Gamecocks poured it on, chasing Cavaliers' starter Will Clark from the game in just 3-1/3 innings. Clark gave up six earned runs, which proved to be all South Carolina needed.
Virginia drops down in the bracket to face California on Thursday. The Golden Bears staved off elimination earlier in the day by downing Texas A&M, 7-3. South Carolina is in the driver's seat after Tuesday's win and will be odd until Friday. The Gamecocks must only win once more while Virginia or Cal must beat them twice to advance to the final round.

South Carolina Vs. Virginia Weather Delay, 2011 College World Series: More Rain Delays Game
For the second consecutive night, the College World Series has been delayed by a nasty rain storm. This one isn't quite as bad as yesterday's, but it's still delayed the game between South Carolina and Virginia multiple times. A rain storm just before the game caused a rain delay until 7:30 pm ET, but before they were able to get out onto the field, it started pouring again. The grounds crew at TD Ameritrade Field offers some insight.
