A 4-RBI performance from Jason Valentine, who is tied for 6th in the SBL in RBI with 34, helped the Vanderbilt Commodores beat the South Illinois Salukis, 8-6. The win was credited to Kyle Harless in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Erik Janas took the loss. The Commodores bumped their record to 19-17 with this latest triumph.

Valentine had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the ninth. On a 1-0 fastball from Erik Janas, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Commodores a 8-6 lead. It was the 10th home run of the year for Valentine.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Valentine said.
