Noland blasts a three run shot. 10-1 in the seventh.

Nice to see us follow up yesterday with this performance.

And let’s face it, OM’s pitcher yesterday was good...

7-0 heading to the bottom of the sixth.

I am guessing this will be Leiter’s last inning.

And there’s a hit with runners in scoring position. Laneve again. 7-0.

As Leiter has regained command, ump is giving him more benefit of the doubt.

He strikes out the side in the 5th. 4 in a row. 10 for the game. 60 pitches in 5 innings.

Four homers - but terrible performance with runners in scoring position continues. 6-0. But it could’ve been more. Bradfield stranded at third again. We had 2nd & 3rd one out and two pop outs...

Laneve with a blast - he hit it to the track on his first AB. He can hit.

Two of Coach’s inserts for today have homered.

Bradfield then bunts for a single - our first hit of the day that isn’t a homer.

Leiter hitting 97 mph.

It will be real interesting how long coach lets him go.

Good news: 46 pitches through 4 innings.

OM pitcher has 7 K’s through 4 innings.

Vandy has 3 hits. All homers.

Jones hammers a 2run shot.

5-0.

Keegan - 2run dinger just clears the fence. 3-0.

OM pitcher getting ahead of everyone.

Need to be more aggressive on first pitch.

Ump not being as generous to Leiter...

But after 2, 1-0 good guys.

Leiter seemed to find his stuff after hitting first batter in the second...

OM pitcher painting corners and ump seems generous around the edges. This really does put pressure on our guys to swing.

I don’t mind the generous edges so long as they are consistent and go both ways.

Thomas delivers solo shot!

A win is a win.

But our bats need to wake up.

Young makes a tremendous play to save the game. We win 3-2. With one out and runner on third in 9th - infield is in and Young spears a bullet. Well done. Next batter grounds one up the middle - right into the shift for the final out. Didn’t really want a nail biter tonight - but the bullpen got some...

A little surprised Murphy did not stay in...

And that is the first 1-2-3 inning of the night by Vandy pitching.

Murphy looks sharp.

Noland grounds out. Still 3-2 heading to the 8th inning. We are playing with fire.

Murphy in to pitch.

3-2. Bases loaded. Two outs, bottom 7...
