Vanderbilt Commodores outfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. stepped to the plate for what ended up being a very unusual at-bat.
When Bradfield hit a 2-2 pitch into right field during the seventh inning of Vanderbilt's opening game of the NCAA Tournament Nashville Regional against Eastern Illinois, he somehow managed to break his bat — his aluminum bat.
Despite Bradfield hitting the ball off the barrel end of the bat, the bat broke near the handle.

Bradfield hit a double earlier in the game. The Commodores scored six in the third inning and cruised to a 12-2 win.
It did not appear Bradfield was jammed on the pitch, the broadcasters noted.
