COLLEGE WORLD SERIES Fullerton continues to win, 6-3

Fullerton will play Wednesday against today's South Carolina-Miami winner.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Ricky Romero threw a nine-hitter, and Felipe Garcia went 4-for-4 to lead California State University at Fullerton to a 6-3 victory over Miami in the College World Series on Monday night.
Romero (13-4) struck out seven, walked two, and only got into trouble once.
The Titans have gotten complete games in their first two games at the CWS. Jason Windsor pitched a three-hitter in a 2-0 win over South Carolina on Saturday.
"Both of them are as good as anyone out here," Miami coach Jim Morris said. "The secret is getting into their bullpen. Not many people get into their bullpen when those guys are throwing."
In the earlier game Monday, South Carolina eliminated LSU with a 15-4 victory and will face Miami today. The loser of that game will be knocked out of the CWS. The winner will play Fullerton on Wednesday.
On winning streak
Cal State Fullerton (44-21) has won seven straight and 29 of 34 games. The Hurricanes (50-12) saw their 13-game winning streak end.
Miami's J.D. Cockroft (9-5) struggled for the second year in a row in the CWS. He lasted only 3 2/3 innings -- his shortest outing in 12 starts -- and gave up nine hits and five runs. He was hurt by four Miami errors.
In a 13-2 loss to Texas last year, he allowed 10 hits and 10 runs and his teammates committed five errors in 3 1/3 innings.
The Hurricanes scored twice against Romero in the seventh to make it 5-3.
"I wasn't getting tired in the seventh," Romero said. "My mechanics were off and I got back to staying on top of the ball and throwing strikes."
In the early game, Kevin Melillo had four hits and was ejected and reinstated after a collision at home plate, leading South Carolina over LSU.
The Gamecocks trailed 3-1 before they scored six runs, four unearned, with two outs in the sixth.
South Carolina had the bases loaded with two outs when Nick Gardiner singled to right off Lane Mestepey (7-4). Landon Powell scored easily, but Melillo collided with LSU catcher Matt Liuzza after the ball bounced under Liuzza's glove.
Umpire Bob Homolka called Melillo safe, but immediately ejected him for not trying to avoid the collision.
Decision reversed
South Carolina coach Ray Tanner came out of the dugout to protest, and after the umpiring crew consulted with supervisor Dave Yeast, Homolka's decision was reversed and Melillo was reinstated.
"He really didn't plow through him," Tanner said. "He kind of held up a little bit. Nobody went to the ground. You'd hate to see a player ejected in a game like this."
Jim Paronto, secretary-editor to the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee, said in a statement that Homolka initially believed the collision was caused by a flagrant act by Melillo but it was later determined that it was not.
"I was coming down the line and I could see Landon telling me to get down," Melillo said. "I was kind of looking to see where Liuzza was going to go, where the ball was going to take him, so I could try to take an angle and slide around him.
"The ball led him up the line and we collided a little bit. It was nothing intentional. He understood that."
The intent of the rule is to encourage base runners and defensive players to avoid violent collisions whenever possible.
"I'd be surprised if it wasn't reviewed," Yeast said.
