NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Alan Espinal drove in three runs, Vanderbilt hit two home runs and the Commodores routed Eastern Illinois 12-2 on Friday night in the Nashville Regional hosted by the Commodores.

The Commodores scored twice in the first and added six in a third inning in which Espinal delivered a bases-loaded double and Davis Diaz hit a two-run home run. That was plenty of run support for Devin Futrell, who allowed single runs in the first and fifth innings. He went five innings, allowing two runs, one earned on seven hits with seven strikeouts.

Jonathan Vastine added a two-run home in the seventh and Thomas Schultz pitched four scoreless innings for his second save.

Ryan Ignoffo had two hits and Eastern Illinois’ only RBI.

Top-seeded Vanderbilt (42-18) will play No. 2 Oregon in a winner’s bracket game on Saturday. No. 4 Eastern Illinois (38-20) will play Xavier in a loser-out. Oregon defeated Xavier 5-4 on Friday.
