NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt first baseman Parker Noland snapped a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 17th inning on Wednesday with a two-out RBI single to right-center field to help the seventh-ranked Commodores to a 2-1, 17-inning victory over the visiting University of Evansville Purple Aces at Hawkins Field in Nashville, Tennessee.
"What a gutsy performance tonight by our guys!" said UE head coach Wes Carroll. "Unfortunately, it just didn't go our way.
"Our pitching was outstanding, and we had some opportunities offensively, but we just didn't get that big hit that we needed. But, tonight was just a great baseball game to be a part of.
