Weekend Baseball Notes
Pedro likes RiceVanderbilt had a whale of a weekend. The 'Dores beat No. 1 Rice and No. 16 Arizona State at this weekend's Houston College Classic. Ace David Price gave up a few runs early, but Pedro Alvarez helped Vandy break through against Rice. Then the 'Dores outlasted Arizona State in 10 innings. Vandy has started strong.
A team that came into the weekend with high hopes was Georgia, but they got swept in Athens by defending national champs, Oregon State. All-American closer Josh Fields couldn't throw a strike in the ninth Friday and neither could anyone else in the Bulldog bullpen. It looks like middle relief could be a big problem for the Dawgs, as the starters performed well this weekend, but the games got away from the Georgia staff late.
Georgia wasn't the only team getting swept this weekend in a big series. No. 11 UCLA dropped three in Miami to the No. 5 Hurricanes. In the Bruins's defense, the first two games were nip and tuck affairs, both one run Miami wins.
