The Vanderbilt Commodoresโ€˜ pitching staff threw a combined no-hitter against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday night, propelling them to a 4-0 shutout victory. Four pitchers participated in the no-hitter for the Commodores: Greysen Carter, Sam Hliboki, Ryan Ginther, and Nick Maldonado all combined to throw 12 strikeouts and no hits. Hliboki threw the most strikeouts of the group, fanning eight batters in 3.2 innings of work.

Check out the final out of the game below, and the team celebrated the impressive accomplishment.

The Commodores also have one of the most prolific base runners in school history on their roster. On Sunday night, Vanderbiltโ€™s Enrique Bradfield, Jr. stole his 100th base. One of the most decorated players in Vanderbilt baseball history, Bradfield was named a unanimous preseason first team All-American. He was also named preseason All-SEC first team. His 100 stolen bases are a Vandy baseball record, and heโ€™ll only continue to add to that as the season goes along. He was named a consensus All-American in 2022 after he stole 46 bases, hit five triples (leading the SEC), and blasted eight home runs.

The โ€˜Dores finished 2-1 overall in the tournament, beating the Golden Gophers and Maryland, but losing to Nebraska.

Greysen Carter started the game for Vandy and went 3.5 innings, striking out three batters, but walking five of them. Hliboki replaced him on the mound and pitched brilliantly in 3 2/3 innings.

Vanderbiltโ€™s pitching staff also threw a combined no-hitter last year against the Kentucky Wildcats. The โ€˜Dores got a no-hitter from Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker in the 2019 NCAA Super Regional.

Vanderbilt has now won four of their last five games, including a win over No. 17 UCLA on Feb. 26th. Up next, the Commodores will play against Tennessee Tech on March 7th. One of Vanderbiltโ€™s biggest wins of the 2023 season came on Feb. 18 against No. 9 Oklahoma State, when they prevailed 11-9.
