Published by Benjamin Klein on June 24, 2013

Either UCLA or Mississippi State is going to take a 1-0 College World Series lead after Monday night, and it’s going to be because they accomplished a vital task.

While the Bruins and Bulldogs have each been great throughout the postseason, they haven’t been perfect in terms of their on-field performance. There are still several ways to improve and make each a more complete and dominant program, which will be essential over the next few days.

Can UCLA or Mississippi State win without enhancing some aspects? Of course, but not doing so is going to greatly lessen the chance that they win Game 1. A Game 1 loss is a big blow for a team, as winning back-to-back games to take the title is going to be nearly impossible.

Here’s a look at what each College World Series finalist needs to do in order come away with a massive Game 1 victory.
