The Commodores reached the 2011 College World Series, falling in the semifinals to runner-up Florida. Regionals The Commodores were announced as a host for the Nashville regional, which featured #6 national seed Vanderbilt, Oklahoma State, Troy, and fellow Nashville university Belmont. Vanderbilt marched through the regional, defeating 4 seed Belmont 10–0, 3 seed Troy 10–2, and Belmont again in the final by the score of 6–1. A year later, Vanderbilt coach Josh Holliday would become the head coach of his alma mater and 2011 regional participant, Oklahoma State University. In the SuperRegional, Vanderbilt drew the winner of the Corvallis regional, Oregon State. With first-round draft pick Sonny Gray on the mound, the Commodores jumped out to a quick 4–0 lead in the first before coasting to an 11–1 win. Mike Yastrzemski hit a three-run home run in the 4th inning. The second game of the series also went the way of the Commodores, led by first baseman Aaron Westlake's three home runs. Vanderbilt defeated the Beavers 9–3 to punch their first to the College World Series, the first in the history of the school. thumb|Vanderbilt celebrates the Super Regional win Personnel Roster 2011 Vanderbilt Commodores rosterhttp://www.vucommodores.com/sports/m-basebl/archive/2011-roster.html 2011 Baseball Roster Vanderbilt Commodores November 26, 2014 Pitchers 2 - Sonny Gray - Junior 10 - Navery Moore - Junior 12 - Ryan O’Connor - Freshman 19 - Steven Rice - Freshman 21 - Jack Armstrong - Junior 24 - Corey Williams - Sophomore 27 - Keenan Kolinsky - Freshman 28 - Grayson Garvin - Junior 31 - Robert Hansen - Freshman 33 - Jake Harper - Freshman 34 - Taylor Hill - Senior 35 - Kevin Ziomek - Freshman 39 - Sam Selman - Sophomore 40 - T.J.
