Holcomb delivers!

â Vanderbilt Baseball (@VandyBoys) May 9, 2026 If you watched it live, you saw The Hulk crush an oppo liner with 108mph exit velo and a launch angle of near 19 degrees. The right fielder never saw it. The camera didnât capture it land. The umps had no idea. Then, the 1st base ump made the âcircle the basesâ signal and The Diamond Dores were back on top 9-7⊠âŠuntil they werenât. Cthulu, despite allowing the first base ump to signal that it was a HR, decided to get the umps to gather together to collectively fuck us, ruling against all logic that it was a ground rule 2B, it was 7-7, and Johnston and Holcomb would have to return to 3rd and 2nd, respectively. Oh, and the game was now postponed. 7-7 in the top of the 9th⊠2 down. Hey umps⊠maybe donât try that against a school whose students and alums can do physics: The SEC picked the wrong school to hand a physics assignment to in order to decide a baseball game.
Hereâs the math behind the blown home run call, if youâre interested.

â Charlie Campbell (@VandyChuck) May 9, 2026 Oh, and then there was this: no. 100% positive that ball went over the fence.
â Braden Holcomb (@bradenholcomb11) May 9, 2026 **My closing thoughts:** WHAT THE FUCK, UMPS?!?!?!?!?! Also, who the hell spiked Jobuâs rum cup with acid?!?!?! Do you want to summon Lovecraftian Elder Gods? Because thatâs how we get Lovecraftian Elder Gods, you fools! Anyway, optimistically, weâre still not dead yet, and today at 4pm, we set those ducks back on the pond and give Logan Johnstone a chance to drive them in and make things right. Anyway, I suspect the craziness is not over, as Corbs had already planned to go with Johnny Wholestaff on BOTH Saturday and Sunday, and if we donât plate at least one run, who knows how many extra innings this partial game might go before the full 9 nightcap?
First game will be the same as last night, only with Chris Maldonado in for Tommy Goodin, and Aukai Kea (most likely) in for Korbin Reynolds. Second game? Well, Iâll post that if and when itâs posted. See you in the comments. Cast out Cthulu. Bring back Jobu. Please. And thank you.
The game was tied at 7-7 when it was postponed.
A potential home run was ruled a ground-rule double, leading to significant frustration among fans and players.
Veteran righty Luke Guth struggled, allowing multiple runs before being replaced.
Rain caused delays in the game, and fog obscured visibility during crucial moments.
