NASHVILLE: Smallball, mistake net Vandy a run

By Chris Lee - June 01, 2007


Vandy's Brad French led off the sixth with a first-pitch single, then took second on David Macias's sacrifice bunt. Alex Feinberg flew out to deep right, and French took third to bring all-American Dominic de la Osa to the dish.

De la Osa, who's hit in the clutch all year, stood at the plate with a 2-2 count. And not 30 seconds after I looked at the stat sheet and announced that Austin Peay's Shawn Kelley had thrown but one wild pitch all year... you guessed it. Kelley sailed one wild of catcher Matt Smith, and French easily raced home from third.

After just missing a home run on a foul ball to left, de la Osa struck out.

It's Vandy 1, APSU 0 after six full innings.
