OMAHA, Neb. — Carlos Gutierrez got the job done this time.

Two days after the Miami closer's two-run throwing error cost the Hurricanes a win in their College World Series opener, Gutierrez overcame another shaky ninth inning to seal a 7-5 victory over Florida State yesterday.

"I tell you, my heart can't take many games like that right there," Miami coach Jim Morris said. "You don't know what's going to happen. You don't feel safe with a five-run lead going into the ninth inning. They just hit the ball hard and kept battling back."

Miami (53-10), the No. 1 national seed, plays tomorrow against Georgia, which beat Stanford, 4-3, yesterday.

Florida State (54-14) had 18 hits — four by national player of the year Buster Posey — but left 17 runners on base to set a CWS record for a nine-inning game.

"If you would have told me before the game that we would have gotten 18 hits and not make an error, I would have taken my chances," said FSU coach Martin said.

Jemile Weeks hit his second homer of the CWS, and Dennis Raben and Jason Hagerty joined Weeks in driving in two runs apiece for the Hurricanes, who beat their Atlantic Coast Conference rivals for the third time in four meetings.

The Seminoles looked as if they might break through in the ninth against Gutierrez, whose two-run throwing error in the ninth inning Saturday was part of a Miami implosion that led to a 7-4 loss to Georgia.

Gutierrez got out of trouble this time after the Seminoles scored three runs on four singles and two walks. After Gutierrez walked Posey to load the bases, he got Jack Rye to ground out to Weeks to end the game.

GEORGIA 4, STANFORD 3

Georgia (43-23-1) has taken control of its bracket at the College World Series.

What a relief for the Bulldogs.

Actually, what a group of relief pitchers.

Georgia's bullpen turned in a second straight dominating performance at the CWS, this time allowing Stanford (40-23-2) one single and four other baserunners in six shutout innings in last night's win over the Cardinal.

Matt Cerione produced the winning run with his two-out, bases-loaded single in the seventh inning.

After Stanford scored all its runs in the third inning against starter Nick Montgomery, Stephen Dodson and Alex McRee held things together on the mound. Once the Bulldogs got the lead, they turned the game over to dependable closer Joshua Fields.

"When you stop a team like that and you give us a chance to get our offense going, we have enough weapons in our lineup that we're eventually going to break through and score," Georgia coach David Perno said.

McRee (7-1) got the win after striking out two in 1 1/3 innings, and Fields earned his 17th save.

The Bulldogs will wait until Friday to play the winner of tomorrow's Miami-Stanford game. A win in that game would send Georgia out of Bracket 1 and into the best-of-three championship round.
