NASHVILLE: CS 1-3

By Chris Lee - June 02, 2007

If Vanderbilt's got a weakness, it's baserunning. And for the second straight inning, the Commodores have gotten the leadoff man on and had him picked off.

Pedro Alvarez singled sharply up the middle off Michigan lefty Mike Wilson, then Wilson caught him leaning the wrong way just as he did Macias in the first. Neither play was particularly close.

However, Ryan Flaherty followed with a single up the middle, extending his hitting streak to 32 games, which ties Warner Jones' school record. Matt Meingasner followed with a 3-1 walk, making Alvarez's lapse more costly.

So Vandy tries to get something going in a 0-0 game, the homestanding Commodores hitting in the bottom of the second.
