Tacoma, WA – A late rally came up just short for the Nashville Sounds on Wednesday evening at Cheney Stadium as they dropped their third straight game to the Tacoma Rainiers, losing by a 5-4 margin.
The loss was the PCL-leading 11th one-run defeat suffered by Nashville (12-32) this season.
Rainiers starter Andrew Carraway (5-1) stifled the Sounds to earn a quality start victory. The right-hander held Nashville to one run on six hits while matching his season high with six strikeouts over 6 2/3 frames.

Freshman’s second-round total sets a Vanderbilt NCAA Championship single-round record and ties for the lowest round for the Commodores in postseason play.
Nashville, TN – Commodore freshman Jenny Hahn continued her stellar play Wednesday at the NCAA Championship in Athens, GA, firing a five-under par, 67, in her second 18 holes around the UGA Golf Course. Hahn’s 67 was a new career best and a new Vanderbilt NCAA Championship single-round record and ties for the lowest round for the Commodores in postseason play, which was set in the 2007 Central Regional by Jacqui Concolino.
Hahn is currently third on the individual leader board for the tournament with a six-under, 137 (71-67). She trails Alabama’s Stephanie Meadow, the individual leader, by two strokes, and second-place Annie Park of Southern Cal by one stroke. «Read the rest of this article»

Jackson, TN – For the third time in program history Austin Peay State University’s baseball team can celebrate a sweep of the Ohio Valley Conference’s top awards. Junior first baseman Craig Massoni was named the league’s Player of the Year and senior closer Tyler Rogers was named its Pitcher of the Year at the annual OVC Baseball Awards Banquet held Tuesday night.
“I’m not sure I have a word that is good enough to describe what these two men meant to our team,” said Austin Peay head coach Gary McClure. “Having Tyler involved in 27 decisions over 42 wins is incredible. And on the other hand, Craig was a guy who hit almost .500 in league play and didn’t do it with singles – he did it with doubles and home runs.

Freshman Jenny Hahn from Henderson, NV, leads Commodores on Day One with a one-under par, 71.
Nashville, TN – Vanderbilt freshman Jenny Hahn fired a one-under par, 71, in her opening round Tuesday and tied a Commodore program record for the lowest first round at an NCAA Championship to lead the Commodores at the 2013 edition at the UGA Golf Course in Athens, GA. As a team, Vanderbilt has a first-round total of 11-over par, 299, which places them in tie for 15th place after day one.
“It was a great effort, and Jenny looked really good out there today,” said Vanderbilt head coach Greg Allen. “She made a birdie coming in to finish her round. Lil’ Reen (Irina Gabasa) was solid all day. This is a tough golf course for her because it’s fairly long and it’s a hilly course. Kendall and Stratty each shot 77, and it wasn’t like they were hitting it everywhere. They had a lot of good looks for birdie and just didn’t make it. Between the two of them, they only made one birdie. Usually, those two girls are making three or four birdies apiece every round.” «Read the rest of this article»
