Pregame Stuff
With the Commodores starting a left-handed pitcher, Chris Lanzilli and Jace Bohrofen are the two starting corner infielders. That means Zack Gregory is not starting.
Full lineups below.
T-2nd: Vanderbilt 4, Arkansas 0
After a one-out walk by Javier Vaz, Parker Noland hit a high fly ball to left that kept carrying and eventually landed in the bullpen for a two-run home run.
With runners on the corners, Enrique Bradfield Jr. laid down a perfect bunt to score a run and then Davis Diaz followed with an RBI single.
T-3rd: Vanderbilt 5, Arkansas 0
Connor Noland walked Dominic Keegan to leadoff the inning. Javier Vaz hit a one-out single to center to put runners on the corners. Parker Noland drove in his third run of the day to extend the Vandy lead.
B-4th: Vanderbilt 5, Arkansas 1
The Razorbacks got on the board with a leadoff home run by Brady Slavens, his 12th of the season. That's tied with Braydon Webb for the most on the team.
B-5th: Vanderbilt 5, Arkansas 4
Arkansas nearly wasted a leadoff double by Jalen Battles, but with two outs, Robert Moore hit a two-run home run into the left field bullpen.
That prompted a mound visit by the Commodores' pitching coach, but Slavens hit the very next pitch by Devin Futrell into the left field bullpen for an opposite field home run.
B-6th: Vanderbilt 5, Arkansas 5
Braydon Webb hit a ground ball up the middle and reached when the throw took the first baseman off the bag. He then went first to third on a failed pickoff attempt. That set up an RBI single by Jace Bohrofen that got through an drawn-in infield, tying the game at 5-5.
T-7th: Vanderbilt 6, Arkansas 5
Vanderbilt regains the lead with a solo home run by Jack Bulger.
B-7th: Vanderbilt 6, Arkansas 6
Moore led off the seventh with a fly ball to right, but Spencer Jones misplayed it and let it fall for a leadoff double. Back-to-back ground outs by Slavens and Chris Lanzilli moved him around for the game-tying run.
B-9th: Vanderbilt 6, Arkansas 6
The Razorbacks managed a two-out base runner, but that was it in the ninth. We're heading to extras.
T-10th: Vanderbilt 9, Arkansas 6
Down to his final strike and with two outs in the inning, Enrique Bradfield Jr. launched a three-run home run to give Vanderbilt the lead.
