Vanderbilt 10 Indiana 0

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Freshman right-hander Sonny Gray threw eight innings of shutout baseball to lead Vanderbilt to a 10-0 win over Indiana in the elimination game of the Louisville Regional Saturday afternoon at Patterson Stadium.

The Commodores (35-26) will take Middle Tennessee on Sunday at 2 p.m. CT.

“It was a big game for both teams,” said Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin. “Both teams were in a situation where it was do or die, but we got quite a performance out of our pitcher (Gray). It was a good baseball game for us and we beat a good team that won the Big Ten tournament.”
