at Nashville Regional
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Zion Rose homered leading off the fifth and Tague
Davis doubled and scored what proved to be the winning run later in the inning
on a throwing error as Louisville sent No. 1 overall seed Vanderbilt into the
losers' bracket at the Nashville Regional with a 3-2 victory on Saturday night.
Jake Schweitzer hit Colin Barczi with a 3-2 pitch to begin the bottom of the
ninth before striking out the next two hitters. Mike Mancini singled to put
runners at the corners before a force out at second sealed Schweitzer's third
save.
Vanderbilt (43-17) will play Wright State in an elimination game on Sunday. The
Commodores would then have to beat the Cardinals (37-21) on Sunday night and
again on Monday to advance to the super regionals.
Justin West (2-2) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Tucker
Biven to get the win. Biven allowed two runs --- one earned --- on two hits and
two walks in 4 2/3. Wyatt Danilowicz pitched a scoreless eighth.
Starter Cody Bowker (3-5) took the loss for Vanderbilt, allowing three runs ---
two earned --- on five hits in 5 1/3. Connor Fennell allowed three hits in
three shutout innings.
Matt Klein homered two batters into the game to give Louisville a 1-0 lead.
Mancini walked and scored on a wild pitch to tie it in the third. Vandy added
an unearned run in the fifth.
