NASHVILLE: Alvarez goes deep

By Chris Lee - June 04, 2007

I had just commented to the Nashville City Paper's Brett Hait that Michigan's Chris Fetter might be the kind of pitcher that gives Dominic de la Osa and Pedro Alvarez fits because his stuff doesn't look as if it breaks 75 mph.

Immediately afterwards, Alvarez, a lefty, hit a ball about 410 feet over the wall about 30 feet to the left of dead-center, and the Commodores have pulled within a run.

Ryan Flaherty followed with a single to left to extend his hitting streak to 35 games, one shy of the SEC record.

Now, Matt Meingasner has blooped a single to right, so first and second now with nobody out.

The crowd's into it now, and Vandy starters Cody Crowell and Mike Minor are warming up in the 'pen if Rhoden runs into trouble.
