The Rebels and Commodores got together in Nashville, TN tonight to determine their identities. Really, neither team knows who it is. This is what the teams showed tonight:
Ole Miss:
We've now got a Friday night guy in Drew Pomeranz. He had a solid night tonight going four innings and only giving up two runs. My only concern is the five walks he issued tonight. McKean went three innings and gave up a run. Morgan and Barbeck both worked one inning and only allowed one hit a piece.
So, I'd say our bullpen is solid. We did commit two errors, but I will give the defense a pass due to the awful weather.
As far as our offense is concerned, we are impressive. We got to Mike Minor tonight which is something no team has done this year. He started really strong by only allowing one hit through 19 batters faced, but he lost control and ended up getting the loss. Tyler Hill was impressive in relief, and he had 8k's.
We scored 9 runs on 12 hits, and that production came mostly in bunches. We scored 4 in the 4th, and 3 of those came on a Travis homerun. We scored 3 more in the 6th on a bases loaded, two-out double from Logan Power. This season, Power is batting 1.000 with the bases loaded. CLUTCH
Vanderbilt:
They are a different team from last year. They haven't shown the power they have had in the past without Flaherty and Alvarez in the line-up. The want to play small ball, but they cannot string the hits together.
Their pitching has had a solid season until tonight, but I bet they get it together by the next game.
My thoughts:
Ole Miss showed some guts tonight by getting the first one under the belt against Vandy. I personally think the game tomorrow will be postponed due to weather, and we can expect a double header on Sunday. As someone commented on a earlier, free streaming video is available through the Vanderbilt site. If you feel I left important information out of this post, feel free to comment and add one.

Accurate post BW. Except the part of "aweful" weather, doesn't really cover how cold it was. We were at the game, and it was freezing. I definitely think the weather did have a small effect on Pomeranz's control. Though he did a great job battling and had a solid outing. Hopefully we can get a game in tomorrow.
Solid win for the Rebs today.

I think you're a little off with the number of batters faced with only one hit for Minor. You said it was one hit in 19 batters that would put him easily in the sixth inning and the box score only has him with 22 batters faced and 7 hits and 1 walk.
