Adley Rutschman has gotten started early in the final game of the College World Series. With two on, Rutschman hit a grounder past the third baseman to score Cadyn Grenier, giving the Beavers a 1-0 lead.

Rutschman’s hit broke one record and tied another, Rutschman is now the Beavers all time single season hits leader. He also tied the College World Series hits record, with 15.

The Beaves added one more run to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Stay tuned to Building the Dam for further updates.

UPDATE: Rutschman did more damage in the bottom of the third, with a single to left field scoring one more run, giving the Beavers a 3-0 lead. That hit means he’s broken the College World Series hit record.
