As Expected

As expected this was a great baseball game tonight. Unfortunately Vandy was able to get past the Rebs 3-2 in extra innings. It was a pitchers fight back and forth for most of the game. In the long run Price from Vandy pitched all ten innings and picked up the win for the Dores. Unfortunately for Will Kline he gets a no decision. The second of the season for him after he pitched an outstanding game to get a no decision. This game was everything it was meant to be with two of the best teams in the league/nation having to go to extra innings to settle the fight. Should be an interesting rest of the weekend in Nashville.

(SID)NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It was a pitchers duel as billed on Friday, but the top-ranked Commodores came up with the hit in the end as No. 14 Ole Miss (14-6) fell to No. 1 Vanderbilt (20-0) 3-2 in 10 innings as the Commodores rallied late for the win.
