Tennessee managed just seven hits, stranded seven runners and relied on a Reese Chapman home run for three of its four runs scored, while Vanderbilt teed off on the Volunteer pitching staff for 15 hits, four home runs and seven total extra-base hits as it put the Vols in the losers’ bracket with a 13-4 clobbering.
Both starting pitchers, Vandy’s Devin Futrell and Tennessee’s Nate Snead (who made his first start of the season) breezed through the first inning. Each guy got the opposing hitters down in order to start the game, and while Snead gave up a one-out single in the top of the second, he got a double play to end the inning without allowing a run.
