Jack welcomes back Andrew Stem to the Jack Vita Show.

Andrew is a reporter at the Omaha World-Herald and has been at the College World Series all week. Andrew helps break down the shocking news that eliminated the North Carolina State Wolfpack from the College World Series, declaring Saturday's game a non-contest, and advancing the Vanderbilt Commodores to their second-straight national championship. Andrew and Jack share their opinions on the whole ordeal (0:00 - 30:35). Then, they preview the College World Series championship and share some thoughts on the 2021 College World Series up to this point (30:35 - 44:15). Later, they talk about the other sports they're watching, including the Stanley Cup Playoffs and NBA playoffs; Jack shares why he hasn't been able to get into the NBA postseason (44:15 - 52:35). Finally, Jack and Andrew run through the latest Major League Baseball news, including MLB All-Star finalists, Home Run Derby candidates, Mike Soroka retearing his Achilles, and MLB's "sticky situation" (52:35 - END).
