Vandy baseball takes a hit

Vanderbilt's loaded recruiting class just became one player smaller as junior college outfielder Adam Milligan recently signed with the Atlanta Braves, according to scout.com.

Milligan, a sixth-round pick, would have most likely started for the Commodores, who are looking to replace David Macias and Dominic de la Osa in the outfield. For the Braves, apparently the third time was the charm as they had drafted Milligan twice before.

Vanderbilt also lost shortstop Anthony Hewitt earlier in the summer. Hewitt recently signed with the Philadelphia Phillies after being selected in the first round.
