Your Faithful GameThread - #17 Vanderbilt vs. #12 Florida State - Super Regional Game Three

by Train Island on Jun 13, 2010 12:33 PM EDT in Vanderbilt Commodores Baseball

Can Curt Casali continue his hot streak at the plate in Dick Howser Stadium? He'll bat fifth today for the Commodores.

UPDATE: WE'RE FINAL: FSU 7, VANDY 6. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SEMINOLES, WHO ADVANCE TO OMAHA.

It's do-or-die for both teams today as the final game of the Tallahassee Super Regional today will decide who moves on to the College World Series between Vanderbilt and Florida State. Vandy will be putting their 4-0 record in elimination games on the line for a shot at their first trip to Omaha, while FSU is looking for their 20th trip to be part of college baseball's elite eight. Taking the mound for the Commodores will be enigmatic but talented sophomore righthander Jack Armstrong, while the Seminoles counter with junior righty Geoff Parker - who Vandy rocked for four runs over 2.1 innings on Friday.

Can Armstrong tap the talent that made him a preseason All-American? Will Vandy's bats continue to come up big in late-game situations? Will Florida State's experience push them back into Omaha? We'll have all the action right here for you, both in the live thread and in the comments below. Join us as the Commodores try to make a historic run at baseball glory.

And FSU counters with.....

A pitcher with a 10+ ERA as a starter? What?

We rocked him Friday too...

The strategy here is confusing. There’s got to be something we don’t know…right?

FSU comes alive

with 4 runs in the 2nd. A Cardullo HR, followed by a bases loaded double (2 RBI) from Tyler Holt and a RBI groundout do the damage.

Jack Armstrong’s day is done. Drew Hayes has taken over for the ’Dores.

FSU loads the bases, mostly via BB

But Hayes pitches out of it with a pop out and fly out to end the inning. On to the bottom of the 4th.

Connor Harrell with two nice plays in center field

Catching a couple deep fly balls. The last one carries to the wall, but Harrell grabs it anyway, and guns the ball back to first for the double play. Inning over.
