HOOVER, Ala. -- Alabama baseball's tournament run ended, as the seventh-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores used an eight-run fourth inning to help secure a 16-1 victory in the quarterfinals of the 2015 Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament Friday afternoon.
"It was unfortunate to finish out the tournament that way," said Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard. "Sometimes the game just doesn't work in your favor, and today was one of those days."
The second-seeded Commodores recorded an SEC Tournament record-tying eight doubles and posted 19 hits for 16 total runs in the seven-inning victory. Vanderbilt scored 14 of its 16 with an eight-spot in the fourth and three runs apiece in the fifth and sixth innings en route to advancing to the SEC semifinals.
