Vanderbilt Commodores outfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. turned up at bat, resulting in a very unusual at-bat.
In the bottom of the seventh in Vanderbilt’s NCAA Tournament opener between the Nashville Regionals and Eastern Illinois, when Bradfield hit a 2-2 pitch into right field, he somehow managed to get his bat—aluminium. broke his bat.
Bradfield hit the ball through the barrel end of the bat, but the bat snapped near the handle.
