Magical Season Comes to a Close at the hands of No. 2 Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE -- Indiana State's Roby Enriquez went deep in the second inning but Vanderbilt also used the long ball to down the Sycamores in the NCAA Baseball Nashville Regional by the score of 12-1 in the regional championship game.
 
ISU saw its season end with a 43-18 mark – the mark most wins in a season since 1990. The last time the Sycamores went this far was in the NCAA Championship was in 1986. The second-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores improved to 52-10 and advance the NCAA Super Regional in Nashville next weekend against Duke.
 
Enriquez was 2-of-3 at the plate with his home run which was also an RBI. Zach Frey allowed just two hits and a run as he made his second start of the season. He allowed just one earned run and struck out five in the game. Geremy Guerrero pitched two and third innings while allowing just one run and punching out two as he was saddled with the loss.
 
Enriquez staked the Sycamores to an early 1-0 lead on a home run to right field off Vanderbilt starter Mason Hickman.
 
But it would be the Commodores who broke through to knot the game at one in the bottom of the fourth inning when Phillip Clark took a pitch and sent it into the right field bleachers. The Commodores would take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning when Julian Infante hit a home run to left field.
 
The game was broken open in the bottom of the sixth inning as Ty Duvall hit his fifth home run of the season – this one a grand slam – once again with two outs. Pat DeMarco reached on an infield single and after a pair of walks Tyler Grauer came on in relief. With the bases loaded, Duvall sent a ball into the right field stands for the 6-1 lead. Then Infante homered for the second time in the game – this one to left field to stretch the lead out to 7-1.
 
Phillip Clark tripled to left field in the bottom of the seventh inning to send home JJ Bleday to extend their advantage out to 8-1. DeMarco's single pushed Clark across to stretch the lead out to 9-1. The rest was academic.
