The Commodore bats didn’t heat up until late, but as has been the case for almost the entire season, a couple runs would be enough.
In his final start in a Commodore uniform, Fulmer gave Vanderbilt one of the best outings of his career in a 5-1 victory over Virginia. It also put the Commodores within a win of consecutive national championships.
Vanderbilt will send Phil Pfeifer (6-4, 3.77 ERA) to the mound tomorrow at 7 p.m. CT (ESPN) with a chance to become the 13th team to repeat as national champions. They would also be the third team to repeat as national champions against the same team.
