Vanderbilt Baseball Looks For Bounce Back Week: The Anchor

Vanderbilt baseball returns to the diamond tonight for what is another all-important week of baseball.
The Commodores are coming off a series loss to No. 16 Oklahoma at home over the weekend and dropped to 7-8 in SEC play and 21-16 overall on the season. At the halfway point of the conference season, things are looking bleak with postseason tournament projections seeming to only get worse by the week.
But in the game of baseball, things can change quickly. And that is exactly what Vanderbilt needs right now if it does not want to be on the outside looking in come the NCAA Tournament Selection show in late May.
Vanderbilt has another big week ahead of itself with four road games. The Commodores start on the road with a crosstown foe in Lipscomb before hitting the road again for a weekend series against Kentucky.
Vanderbilt has struggled mightily away from home this season with a record of 2-10. Another week of that trend continuing, and the state of union of the Commodores will go from bad to worse. Vanderbilt has to figure out its road struggles and its struggles as a team overall this week because time will quickly start to run out otherwise.
Vanderbilt and Lipscomb is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
