NASHVILLE: Ready to go

By Chris Lee - June 03, 2007

Vanderbilt will be the visiting team in its own park, sending Nick Christiani (5-3, 3.68) to the hill against Michigan's Andrew Hess (7-1, 3.76).

The Oak Ridge Boys sung the national anthem, Hess is on the hill taking warmup tosses, and there's a buzz of nervous excitement in the park as the Commodores try to stave off elimination against Michigan, who beat them 4-3 last night.
