Carson Fulmer pitches in a 9-1 win over Lipscomb in Vanderbilt's NCAA Regional opener on May 29, 2015.
Carson Fulmer is a Golden Spikes Award finalist. And that cushion was more than enough for Vanderbilt’s Super Regional opener.
With a 13-0 win against the host Illinois Fighting Illini, Vanderbilt is now one win away from advancing to consecutive College World Series for the first time in school history.
Vanderbilt will be the home team in tomorrow’s game at 8 p.m. CT (ESPNU), where Phil Pfeifer (4-4, 4.21 ERA) is expected to take the mound.
The Commodores got to Illinois starter Kevin Duchene early.
