NASHVILLE: Showing up

By Chris Lee - June 02, 2007

Hats off to the fans at Hawkins Field tonight for showing up after Vandy's game, scheduled to start at 7:00, was pushed back pending the end of the marathon, rain-delayed 18-7 Austin Peay-Memphis game. So fans didn't know what time this game between Vandy and Michigan would start, and that time wound up being 9:50.

So much to everyone's surprise, the 3,700-seat facility is almost completely full, and keep in mind that this place was only 2,200 seats until this regional. And I'm not even sure how many people may be in the parking garage in right field, since it's pitch-black here.

Vandy's freshman right-hander Mike Minor has shown up, too, giving up just a harmless infield single in three innings of work. However, Commodore fans are waiting for its team's bats, as VU's scored just two runs in 13 innings of this tourney.

Michigan 0, Vandy 0 after 2 1/2.
