With Houck (5-5, 2.99 ERA) on the mound Tuesday, Vanderbilt can’t expect to coast to a 14th straight win over the Tigers. The Collinsville native has won just one of his last six starts — he gets little help from a lineup that ranks last in the SEC in hitting (.251) and 12th in on-base percentage (.347) and slugging (.367) — but he was strong Thursday against Kentucky in a 10-strikeout, complete-game victory.

“He attacks you,” said Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin, who plans to start righthander Patrick Raby (6-1). “He gets to the plate. He gets to the plate with confidence. He’s very a aggressive kid that we’d all love to have. He just presents a very tough challenge because he doesn’t give in. He’s the type of guy who gets through the order two or three times and he’s done that against many teams. We had a very difficult time against him the first time.”
If the Tigers can snap their Vanderbilt skid, Jamieson isn’t sure who starts Wednesday against the Aggies. Senior righthander Reggie McClain (5-4) was MU’s No. 1 weekend starter until late in the season, but he threw eight innings Friday at Kentucky.
