IU will have RHP Seti Manase on the mound with an ERA of 11.57 in 4.2 IP and a WHIP of 0.86. Taylor will be the DH while Tibbitts will be behind the plate. Brenczewski will be at 1B and Colopy will be in LF.
Vandy will have LHP JD Thompson on the mound with an ERA of 2.55 in 17.2 IP and a WHIP of 0.91. Thompson is their regular midweek starter and he has gone 6 IP in each of his last two outings.
As I post this, it's 69 degrees in Nashville and sunny with wind at 8 mph.
1st inning:
T1st:
It's Mitchell, Taylor, and Tibbitts at the top of the order. Mitchell popped up for the first out. Taylor singled to put a runner on. Tibbitts and Mathison Kd to retire the side.
B1st:
Manase was off to a horrible start by giving up doubles to both the leadoff and No. 2 hitters.
Back-to-back singles scored two runs and another single score two more and it's like batting practice for Vandy with a runner on 1st and no outs.
Manase's ERA has ballooned to 19.29 in the first inning with a runner on 1st and no outs and he has given up five straight hits to start the game.
He then hit a batter to put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs.
Vandy's sixth straight hit to start the game was another single to make it 5-0 and no outs with runners on 2nd and 3rd. Manase finally got a grounder for an out but another run scored to 6-0.
A flyout got the 2nd out and the throw by Mitchell and he then threw out the runner at home plate trying to score from 3rd.
End of 1st: Vandy 6 IU 0
