Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin reached a rare milestone this week: 1,000 career wins.

His 1,000th victory was the 6-2 home game against Eastern Michigan.

State of play: Corbin is one of only 10 active Division I coaches to hit four digits. Most of those wins have been with Vanderbilt.

Flashback: Corbin was named Vanderbilt's head coach on June 25, 2002. His first win with the Commodores (and his 107th career win) was against The Citadel on Feb. 15, 2003.

Vanderbilt's baseball program has thrived under Corbin's leadership, logging 17 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
The team has been to the College World Series five times and won it all twice.

What he's saying: "I can't really manage the words for it," Corbin said after the win on Tuesday, per the Vanderbilt Hustler. "Being in the same spot for 22 years is important; the consistency of just being here. We've had fun with it and enjoyed it."

What's next: The wait for win 1,001 has begun. Vanderbilt's next game is Friday against Illinois State.
