Wright State had top-ranked Vanderbilt right where they wanted its opponent in the opening round of the NCAA baseball tournament. Through the first six innings of their matchup in the Nashville Regional, they held a 3-0 lead while Cam Allen was pitching a no-hitter—fanning seven Commodore batters and walking just three on 77 pitches.
Then, however, manager Alex Sogard made the inexplicable decision to pull Allen in favor of reliever Warren Hartzell. Hartzell quickly let up three home runs in back-to-back innings that allowed Vanderbilt to go out in front 4-3.
