NASHVILLE: Pitching matchups for Monday night

By Chris Lee - June 04, 2007

It should be Tyler Rhoden (4-0, 5.66) for Vandy to face Michigan's Chris Fetter (6-3, 4.71).

However, there's a story behind the numbers. The seldom-used Rhoden pitched Vandy to the SEC Tournament title game last weekend against Arkansas, while Fetter was the Big Ten ERA champion (2.22) last year.

Vandy's got closer Casey Weathers and walk-on Jason Cunningham, who pitched five shutout innings in a key spot against Ole Miss in last week's tourney, available. UM' has closer Adam Abraham and Michael Powers in reserve.

It should be a classic at Hawkins Field tomorrow night between two teams who can really hit the ball.

Interestingly, Vandy is now a game from a Super Regional without an extra-base hit from all-American Pedro Alvarez.
