"Top-ranked Vanderbilt beat Wright State 4-3 in the opening round of the College World Series on Friday night" is a sentence that wouldn't have sounded so crazy just a few hours ago. The way it happened, however, is almost inexplicable.
After his team climbed out to a 3-0 lead with his pitcher, Cam Allen, throwing a no-hitter, Wright State manager Alex Sogard made a decision that fans couldn't believe. Despite the righty striking out seven batters on just 77 pitches, Sogard chose to take him out ahead of the seventh inning in favor of reliever Warren Hartzell.
