We win.

19-11 in the SEC. We will double host.

Great job coaches, team and pitching staff. We just won a series against #2 without two starting pitchers.

This is a hard one. I believe, having gone 19-11 in the toughest division in college baseball, and getting a bye/4th seed in the conference tournament, we are assured of a national seed. However, we did swoon over the last month, and some experts dropped us pretty mercilessly - without even acknowle...

Reilly throwing gas and mixing speeds nicely.

Survived an error too. Good inning.

Last night’s win was huge. We beat a ranked team on a big streak - and this should cement a top-8 seed. It reinforces us as a top 4 in the SEC despite the late swoon - and every one close behind us has lost… Aub, Vols, SC… With pitching banged up, and Futrell coming off 100+ pitches, I hope we start...

* assuming Owen is ok. Coach has made some meaningful adjustments lately. Our lineup didn’t change for long stretches this season. Suddenly LaNeve, McKenzie and Hewitt are getting some starts and our regulars are getting some rest. The serious stuff begins next week and we have, I think, secured a t...

I’d sure like to see Schultz do well here.

Needs a confidence boost.

It is in Florida pitcher’s head - we have to execute and make contact here.

2 Florida errors.

JD Thompson. Pitching well.

Not getting many favors from the ump, either.

Not getting low strikes - and just denied one that seemed dead middle.

On the bright side, Boki’s first 5 pitches were strikes. But, Our pitchers need to stop grooving 0-2 pitches.

I hate “waste” pitches that aren’t even close - but why groove an 0-2?

Reilly hits 99 twice in the 3rd. And 98 once.

Vastine delivers a sparkler.

Reilly had really good stuff, but has gotten wild.

3 wild pitches score a runner who singled.

A two out, 2 strike wild pitch really hurts. The only consolation is that kid should have scored on the grounder to Vastine…

4-2 now.

Diaz to Austin to Noland.

5-4-3. Schultz delivers big.

We are REALLY lucky to have Vastine and Diaz. The left side of the infield is really sharp. I just like watching them play.

Schultz has recorded 5 outs on 11 pitches…

SECT Most Outstanding Player

We had a lot of guys step up!!

The bottom of the lineup did a lot of damage. Keep it going!!!

One last ump comment - he just gave Schreck an extra strike too.

That is what made the run in 2019 so remarkable: regular season champs, SECT champs, National Champs. Just 4 years ago. Winning the SECT is a major accomplishment. Vandy has only done it 4 times. That will be this team’s lasting legacy. Honestly, I thought we would make a run for the NC before we lo...

Agreed. We definitely out-performed the talent level on this roster. That's a testament to the coaches. We've just had way too many misses in recruiting. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the new rules preventing contact with recruits prior to their junior year will save Corbs from himself...

Burns noted he had come to the CWS as a Vandy fan years ago in an interview. There are strong rumors about this.

He is a truly great pitcher. I’m almost afraid to hope. This would be a massive pickup.

In recent years, the Yanks have certainly focused on VandyBoys or Vandy commits in the early rounds. Volpe, their current ss, was a commit. Spencer Jones is tearing it up in the minors. Lombard is the latest Yankee first-rounder with strong Vandy ties. Good for the brand, I guess. I do wish more of ...

Kick coverage needs to improve.
