The bats and a beefed up Alex Kranzler were not ready to go home, however, and a 4 run 6th followed by a 3 run 8th powered us to an 8-5 win over The Wedding Jerseys.
415FT AND GONE 🤯 @VandyBoys x 📺 @SECNetwork pic. twitter. com/gVkd7dEGAU — Southeastern Conference (@SEC) May 19, 2026 This makes us 15-16 in conference, drops The Wedding Jerseys to 13-18 in conference… and might just have inflated our bubble and popped Chuck Mangione’s, despite a bunch of uncritical-thinking RPI-essentialists saying otherwise.
Today, we play The Gainesville Jorts. We won’t have The Spice or The Beefy Kranz, but we will have everybody else. The Jorts got a bye yesterday, so those Never-Nudes will have dozens of Jorts arms.
Dozens! Sure, the Jorts average north of 7 runs per game and will have their Ace on the mound, but does Jimmy have fear? A thousand times no!
Our equipment manager ate his damned General Tsao’s and the boys know they’re fighting for their postseason lives. A win today puts us firmly on the bubble. A third win, and they’ll write us in the field of 64 with a Sharpie.
