In two seasons for Alabama baseball, Rob Vaughn has been tossed once. A former coach said that competitive spirit nearly got him "killed" in college.

Tennessee took the first few punches in the first inning. When Bowker failed to find the strike zone, the Vols put two baserunners aboard on back-to-back walks. Instead of staying patient, aggression kicked in with runners on.

Vanderbilt baseball defeated Ole Miss for its second SEC tournament title in three seasons and will await its NCAA tournament seeding.
