We're in a rain delay here at Hawkins Field where the No. 9 Commodores (16-6, 3-3 SEC) are set to take on Arkansas (15-9, 2-4 SEC) in game one of their three-game series. The tentative start time has been pushed back all the way to 8:30 CT, but there's talk of a double-header tomorrow. Check vucommodores.com for all the latest.
In the meantime, I'll be watching Wisconsin-Davidson from the press box and doing a little blogging.
Here's a look at Vanderbilt's starting lineup:
1. CF David Macias .368, 4 HR, 12 RBI
2. RF Dominic de la Osa .241, 4 HR, 13 RBI
3. SS Ryan Flaherty .345, 4 HR, 22 RBI

The rain continues to come down hard. It's Friday night, and contrary to popular belief, I do have a life (sometimes), which means I won't be sticking around here until 1 or 2 a.m.
Make sure to check out The Sports VU this weekend as we will be reporting live from Saturday's Black & Gold Scrimmage as well the rest of the baseball series here at Hawkins Field. Have a great night!
