Post VANDERBILT Baseball and/or SEC Baseball questions in the comments here. Earlier in the week, we received the news that our already beleaguered pitching staff would not have Austin Nye this season (and potentially next, depending on how he rehabs from what we can only assume to be Tommy John surgery). Coming off a brutal losing sweep in Clangavile, you would be forgiven for not exactly looking forward to our HATED RIVALS coming into town.
Then… whatever the hell those three games were happened. We’re being told it was baseball. Friday: an extra inning 3-2 victory fueled by 7 and 1/3 IP of one run, 9 K ball by Connor “The Spice” Fennel” and a 10th inning walk-off single by Johnstone the Elder.

com/uFgbvdasCX — Vanderbilt Baseball (@VandyBoys) March 28, 2026 Saturday: Saturday damn near never ended. After 400 hours of college baseball, the Diamond Dores finally had them loaded after The Rooster and PH Max Jensen worked one out walks, then pulled off a double steal, and The Chuggers wisely walked the “so hot right now” Ryker Waite. It all came down to 3rd catcher Mack “The Mack Daddy” Whitcomb, who, though a transfer from TN Tech, proved himself to be all Diamond Dore by executing a perfect suicide Vanderbunt to put this game out of its misery.
