NASHVILLE: Slider, slider, fastball

By Chris Lee - June 01, 2007

In one of the prettiest jobs of pitching you'll see, Vandy's David Price just set Austin Peay No. 2 hitter Josh Kemph up perfectly with two outs in the eighth

Price retired Levi Cheshire to lead off the inning when Cheshire laid down a beautiful bunt that third baseman Pedro Alvarez double-clutched on for a split second, but threw a rocket to first to retire the leadoff man. Price then struck out Rafael Hill on a weak swing on a 1-2 pitch.

Price then watched Kemph swing and miss a pair of inside sliders by about a foot, setting up perfectly for a fastball on the outside corner on the next pitch that froze Kemph.

So, it's Vandy 1, Austin Peay 0, Commodores hitting in the home half of the eighth, and all-American closer Casey Weathers evidently getting ready in the 'pen if needed.
