The VandyBoys (29-11, 10-8) fell just short of the sweep, dropping the closing game against Florida (20-19, 8-10) 6-2. JD Thompson, the starting pitcher for the Commodores, left the game midway through the fourth inning, as he was allegedly caught using foreign substances to aid his pitching. Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan urged the umpires.
Following an away weekend series win at LSU, No. 6 Vanderbilt came back home on Tuesday and dominated the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, 14-1, in a midweek matchup. The Commodores utilized an explosive seven-run first inning to jump in front of the Blue Raiders and never relented in an impressive performance. Vanderbilt’s lead jumped to.
