They may have been a day late (lost Sunday night).
But the VandyBoys did not come up short, defeating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 7-1 at Hawkins Field Monday evening to win the Nashville NCAA Baseball Regionals.
It sets up the Black & Gold's fourth trip to the Super Regionals (the second in three years), hosting Louisville in a best 2 out of 3 series beginning Saturday afternoon. The winner goes to the College World Series in Omaha.
Vanderbilt defeated Georgia Tech by getting back on its game of good pitching, great defense, effective "small ball" tactics by bunting to advance runners, and timely hitting. Courtesy of vucommodores.com, here's a recap writeup of the game along with video game highlights from ESPN, Coach Tim Corbin's emotional talk with the team on the field immediately after the contest, and his comments with the media (along with some star players) following the game)...
