Wright State hangs on late to win 5-4, knocks No. 1 national seed Vanderbilt out of NCAA regionals

Griffen Paige gave up two runs on one hit across eight-plus innings, Boston Smith and Luke Arnold hit back-to-back homers early, and Wright State held off Vanderbilt in the ninth to knock the No. 1 national seed out of the NCAA Tournament with a 5-4 victory in the Nashville Regional on Sunday.

The Commodores (43-18) became the first No. 1 national seed to fail to reach their regional final since the tournament went to its current format in 1999.

Wright State (39-20), the No. 4 regional seed out of the Horizon League, plays Louisville in the final Sunday night. The Raiders would have to beat the Cardinals in that game and again Monday to reach a super regional for the first time.

Paige (2-3) walked six, struck out two and allowed Brodie Johnston’s second-inning home run during his 113-pitch outing.

“Biggest game I’ve ever pitched in, and I showed up and went out there trying to get guys out, one out at a time, one pitch at a time. You can’t do anything else,” Paige said.

Just sayin': Wright fricken State!!! Why couldn't the Ohio State baseball team (who went 13-37, and 5-25 in the B1G this past season) recruited some of those guys?....:mad2:

Texas Tech was leading Texas 1-0 in the 6th inning yesterday in Game 1 of the Women’s Softball Final Series.

Texas had runners on first and third with 2 outs and Atwood, their best hitter up. Tech’s pitcher Canady, an All-American, is told to walk the batter after the runner on first stole second. She throws intentional balls above the strike zone instead of outside the batter’s box. On the 3-0 pitch, it wasn’t high enough (shoulder high at most) and Atwood stroked a line drive into left field to make it 2-1 Texas, which was the final score.

Tech manager, should you maybe have instructed that intentional walk to be outside the batter’s box? It might cost you a Natty.
