Omaha, NE (My Sportsbook) - Georgia and Stanford each posted huge ninth innings en route to dramatic wins in the first day of Men's College World Series action at Rosenblatt Stadium.

The Cardinal erupted for 11 runs in the ninth to break a tie game in a 16-5 rout of Florida State, while Georgia tallied four times in the final frame for a 7-4 comeback win over Miami-Florida.

Ryan Peisel went 3-for-5 with a home run and four runs batted in for the Bulldogs, who have won seven of eight since a loss to Lipscomb in the first game of regional play. Lyle Allen went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored, while Josh Fields earned the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.

Yonder Alonso, Jemile Weeks and Blake Tekotte homered to provide the offense for the Hurricanes, who had gone 5-1 in NCAA Tournament play to reach the CWS. Carlos Gutierrez imploded in the ninth, allowing four runs -- two earned -- on three hits to absorb the loss in relief of Chris Hernandez, who surrendered three runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 frames.

The teams went back-and-forth throughout the game, with Alonso's long solo homer to left-center off Alex McCree giving the 'Canes a 4-3 lead in the seventh.

But, with Gutierrez on the hill in the ninth, Bryce Massanari gave the Dawgs life with a single. Matt Cerione sacrificed pinch-runner Adam Fuller to second, and while Robbie O'Bryan struck out, he reached on a wild pitch that sent Fuller to third. Allen then flipped a single to left, plating Fuller for the tying run.

David Thoms hit a soft tapper in front of the mound, but Gutierrez threw away the throw to first, allowing two more runs to dash home for a 6-4 Georgia lead. Peisel chopped an RBI single to left to extend the lead to three before Fields shut the door on the 'Canes in the bottom half.

In the opening game, Toby Gerhart went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored, while Brent Milleville homered and accounted for four RBI to pace the Cardinal to their seventh straight opening-game victory in the CWS. Sean Ratliff knocked in three runs for the victors.

Starter Jeremy Bleich shut down the potent FSU lineup, hurling five-plus innings of one-run ball, while Drew Storen got the win despite giving up a three-run homer during his two-inning appearance out of the bullpen.

Florida State, which leads the nation in wins and came into the CWS hitting .384 and averaging better than 13 runs in its eight NCAA tournament games, tallied 11 hits, but were done in by three errors and a rough outing from the bullpen.

Jason Stidham hit a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth, while Dennis Guinn roped a solo shot for the Seminoles. John Gast, who pitched 1 1/3 frames, was credited with the go-ahead run in the ninth en route to the loss.

After Stidham's home run made it 5-5 in the eighth, the Cardinal went to work in their last at-bat. An error by FSU shortstop Tony Delmonico loaded the bases with no outs, and Milleville hit a sacrifice fly to center to give Stanford the lead.

A two-run single by Ratliff was followed by a two-run error from Delmonico, and Milleville capped the big inning several runs later by hammering an 0-1 offering into the left field seats for a three-run round-tripper.

On Monday, the Cardinal will take on Georgia, while Miami-Florida and Florida State will hook up in a Sunshine State tilt.
