Alabama gets leading hitter from Horizon League school that discontinued baseball program Coach Rob Vaughn and Alabama baseball have picked up their first position player from the transfer portal since the Crimson Tide's season ended in the Hattiesburg Regional of the NCAA Tournament a week ago.

Osterhouse, a sophomore last season, spent the past two years in the Horizon League with Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). The school announced it was discontinuing its baseball and softball programs on May 23. A left-handed hitter, Osterhouse led the Mastodons at the plate with a .328 average, 16 home runs and 46 RBIs this past season. He added 10 doubles and led the team in stolen bases (13) and on-base percentage (.453) while starting 52 of the team's 53 games.

His best showing at the plate came on May 15 against Wright State in Fort Wayne. In a 21-17 Mastodons victory, Osterhouse hit four home runs in a 5-for-6, eight-RBI night. Alabama used senior Brennen Norton, Jon Young Jr. and Garrett Staton at second base this past season. The Crimson Tide went 41-18 overall, winning 40 regular-season games for the first time since 2002. They fell to Miami and Southern Miss on back-to-back days at the NCAA Tournament in Hattiesburg.

Wright State stuns No. 1 Vanderbilt with historic upset in baseball regionals
The Commodores are now the first No. 1 seed to fail to reach its regional final since 1999. () Wright State pulled off a historic upset on Sunday afternoon in Nashville. Wright State stunned top-seeded Vanderbilt in its own regional in a 5-4 win on Sunday afternoon. That officially sent the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament home before the regional final, which is something that hasn't happened under the current format — which was adopted in 1999. Advertisement The Commodores were the first No. 1 seed to be eliminated in the regionals round since UCLA fell in 2015. Vanderbilt has now been knocked out in the regional rounds for a fourth straight season. The Commodores started Austin Nye, though he faced just seven batters and gave up four runs before they pulled him. Vanderbilt started slowly crawling back into the game, and it put up three runs in the final inning in large part due to a two-run single from Mike Mancini. But RJ Austin flew out to end the game, which allowed Wright State to make it out with the one-run win. Despite the remarkable upset, Wright State — a No. 4 regional seed from the Horizon League — failed to take advantage. It had to turn around right away and take on Louisville on Sunday night, and the Cardinals rolled to a 6-0 win. The Cardinals are now advancing to the super regional. Wright State was playing in its third regional final, and its first since 2016. Advertisement Vanderbilt was the second top team to go down on Sunday. No. 2 Texas fell 7-4 to UTSA for a second straight day, which knocked the Longhorns out of the Austin regional early. That sent the Roadrunners to the super regionals for the first time in program history.

Vanderbilt baseball first No. 1 overall seed not to reach NCAA regional final with loss to Wright State
Vanderbilt baseball became the first No. 1 overall seed to fail to reach the regional final and the fourth No. 1 seed to be eliminated in regionals with a 5-4 loss to Wright State on June 1 in the NCAA tournament. Vanderbilt's Austin Nye gave up four runs in the first inning. Vanderbilt's only hit until the ninth inning was a solo home run by Brodie Johnston in the second inning. Advertisement Mike Mancini hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to make the score 5-3. Rustan Rigdon hit a ground rule double to score one runner. RJ Austin then flew out to end the game. The Commodores did draw eight walks and reached on an error. Vanderbilt (43-18) has been eliminated in regionals four straight seasons, tying the program high under Tim Corbin, and has not advanced to the regional final in any of the last three seasons. Vanderbilt's Austin Nye has a shaky start Vanderbilt opted to start Austin Nye, its lone remaining pitcher who has seen significant time in the rotation this season. But Nye wasn't sharp, giving up four runs in the first inning including two home runs. Advertisement After that one inning, Nye was pulled from the game and replaced by Alex Kranzler. Kranzler hit as high as 98 mph with his fastball, according to the stadium gun. He largely held Wright State at bay. He allowed one unearned run in his four innings of work, walked one and struck out five. Miller Green came in for the sixth inning and escaped a jam with the bases loaded and nobody out as he got a strikeout and then induced a double play. Green recorded four strikeouts and did not allow a run in his three innings of work. Vanderbilt's offense struggles again Brodie Johnston hit his 15th home run of the season in the second inning, the most single-season home runs for a Vanderbilt player since 2021. But outside of Johnston, the offense largely no-showed the same way it had in the first two games. Advertisement Across the three games of the regional, the Commodores recorded just 10 hits, four of which were home runs. Johnston had three of those 10 hits.
