NASHVILLE — With the game tied 1-1 after three innings, the rubber match between No. 17 Kentucky and No. 10 Vanderbilt is in a rain delay.

Vanderbilt got on the board in the first inning, as the Commodores got four infield hits to take a 1-0 lead. After leadoff man David Macias led off with a single through the right side, Alex Feinberg hit into a fielders choice, with Macias out at second on the play. All-American Pedro Alvarez ripped a seeing-eye single through the right-side and Ryan Flaherty followed with a seeing eye single of his own, also through the right side to load the bags. Dominic de la Osa scored Feiberg, hitting a grounder to UK?s shortstop Chris Wade, who fielded the ball but did not have a play. Greg Dombrowski got out of the bases-loaded jam, getting Andrew Giobbi to line out and getting Shea Robin to strikeout swinging.

Kentucky answered with a run of its own in the second inning, taking advantage of two Vandy miscues to tie the game 1-1. Brian Spear roped a one-out single into right-centerfield and Vandy?s right-fielder de la Osa attempted to throw to first, with Spear taking a marginal turn at first. de la Osa?s throw hit Spear in the batting helmet, bouncing into the UK dugout, allowing Spear to move to third. Wade followed, hitting a grounder at Alvarez at third, who attempted to get Spear at the plate. Alavarez?s throw was high, allowing Spear to score and Wade to scamper to second.
