Pat Casey will hope for the same this year, but things are off to a rough start. After getting David Macias on a grounder to 2nd, Stutes then walked Jonathan White, allowed a single through the leftside to Dominic de la Osa, saw his third baseman Lonnie Lechelt throw wide to first on a Pedro Alvarez squibber to set up a bases loaded spot for Ryan Flaherty, who didn't disappoint.

Vandy's shortstop knocked one through the hole on the leftside to plate the first two runs of the ballgame, as Braden Wells' throw from left field barely missed gunning down de la Osa at the plate.

Stutes has settled down, striking out Alex Feinberg swinging and Shea Robin looking on a curveball on the outside corner to finish off the inning with somewhat limited damage.

After a half inning, it's Vandy with a 2-0 lead.
