Comments from Tim Corbin at the Afternoon Press Conference: “They referred to this region as the SAT region on ESPN and I take take that as a compliment. You have four schools here that all have true student-athletes and I think there something to be said about that. It’s been 20 years since Vanderbilt has been to a regional. It was a goal of ours to get here and try to do something. We’ve had a good year. We have three seniors and a mix of quality juniors They have been here for three years and haven’t had a winning season, so it was a special for them going 42-17. We played consistent baseball all season. Out of our 17 losses, 12 were by two runs or less. We have played well, pitched well; played good defense and hit opportunistically. We are glad to be a part of this and we will play as well as we can and represent Vanderbilt. |
