MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota fell in the final game of the Cambria College Classic on Sunday night to No. 7 Vanderbilt, 4-0. Four Commodores pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter on the night.
Senior Richie Holetz (0-1) got the ball to start for Minnesota (0-11) and took the loss despite pitching admirably, striking out two and allowing just three runs in a season-best 6.0 innings.
The Gophers walked six times on the day and were hit by a pitch once. Freshman Kris Hokenson led the team with three walks.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Vanderbilt went up 2-0 in the first inning after a pair of hits, a walk and a Minnesota error. A sacrifice fly brought home run number two. The Dores added on one more in the second on an RBI single and another in the seventh on an RBI double.
