HOOVER, Ala. - The Vanderbilt Commodores won three games in Birmingham to claim the program's fifth SEC Baseball Tournament title and the third in the last seven seasons. Vanderbilt relied on outstanding pitching and timely home runs to win the title game 3-2.

Vanderbilt was riding high from a blowout 10-0 victory over rival No. 8 Tennessee in the semifinals after the Volunteers eliminated top-seeded Texas in the quarterfinals. Ole Miss had plenty of momentum as well, though, as it defeated second-seeded Arkansas in the quarterfinals and third-seeded LSU in the semifinals.
