Vanderbilt's 6'4, 255 freshman Kumar Rocker saves his team's season with a 19 K, no-hitter over Duke in the Nashville Super Regional. In the first inning, Rocker drilled Duke center fielder Kenny Taylor with a pitch near the left eye. Taylor returned from the hospital in the 8th inning, so hopefully he'll be ok. Vandy and Duke match up again today. Kumar Rocker might be a name one will see again at the next level. He threw 131 pitches to complete the game and was still delivering 97 mph heat in the final frame.

Edit: Rocker had never thrown more than 105 pitches in a game and his previous career high in K's was 10. It was also the first no-hitter thrown by a Vandy hurler in 48 years.

Lastly, Rocker broke the school record for K's in an NCAA tournament game (17) set by a somewhat decent pitcher

by the name of David Price.
