Sunrise, sunset. The two stars of Vanderbilt’s 6-3 victory over Clanga were cagey senior Stephen “The Sentient Fire Hydrant” Scott and precocious freshman fireballer Kumar “White Castle” Rocker. The freshman was in control for 6 innings of 5 hit, 1 run ball. The senior... well let’s just say I’d be ecstatic if I was as good at anything as Stephen Scott is at hitting monster dongs in June.
The senior slugger struck first with one out in the 2nd inning. Clanga pitcher Peyton “The Adverbial Form of Pitted Fruit” Plumlee looked shaky in the first—allowing back to back singles from Martin and Bleday to lead off the inning—but escaped unscathed.
