Vanderbilt knocks off Clemson, moves to within a game of Super Regionals

At the beginning, it looked like it was going to be a long night for the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Starting pitcher Zach King, taking the hill in place of usual Saturday starter Patrick Raby, saw Clemson leadoff hitter Logan Davidson smoke a double to left field, then walked star slugger Seth Beer and gave up a base hit that scored Davidson — and just like that, Vanderbilt was behind 1-0. A Davidson single in the second inning made it 3-0. King was really laboring, and the decision to start him over Raby was looking like a very questionable call by Tim Corbin.
