A multitude of mistakes gave Xavier all the runs they'd need to upset the Commodores in the Nashville Regional.
A distracted Vanderbilt team couldn't match Xavier's focus on Saturday, and it cost them in an 15-1 Musketeer rout in the Nashville Regional. Now, the Commodores will have to beat Washington later in the afternoon to avoid elimination in the NCAA Tournament.
Vanderbilt's four errors were a stark contrast to Xavier's sterling defense. The Musketeers made several eye-opening plays in the field to keep the home team off the basepaths. This game remained close until a 13-run seventh inning demoralized the Commodores and pushed them to a loser-goes-home matchup on Saturday evening.
