Baseball: Vandy 11, Western Carolina 4

On a day made for baseball, the Commodores defeated Western Carolina 11-4 today behind home runs from David Macias, Curt Casali and Jonathan White.

While much of the campus has been consumed with Shan Foster and company, the Hawkins Nine (10-3) have quietly gone about their business. They open Southeastern Conference play Friday night at home against South Carolina.
