Vanderbilt Baseball Goes for Series Win: The Anchor – Sports Illustrated

Vanderbilt baseball is looking to do something for the first time this season: win a series on the road.
The Commodores have had plenty of struggles on the road this year and they are well-documented. In two SEC road series thus far, Vanderbilt has gotten swept at Mississippi State and lost two of three at Texas A&M.
But an 8-7 win over Kentucky Saturday now gives Vanderbilt a chance to win its first conference series on the road this season as well as snapping a streak of two consecutive series losses in general.
Vanderbilt won its bullpen game Saturday with Miller Green starting the game on the mound and Brennan Seiber finishing things off in the ninth inning. Now, Vanderbilt turns to its regularly scheduled starter in Wyatt Nadeau.
Nadeau is coming off a game in which Oklahoma in which a bad start to his outing ended up hurting Vanderbilt in the end as the Commodores lost the rubber match. Today, Nadeau has a shot at redemption and a shot to give his team a huge win before next week’s home series against Texas.
The offense was much more productive yesterday than it was in the first game of the series, but the Commodores still left 12 guys on base. Vanderbilt is going to need to get its offense going more and get the key hits if it wants to win the rubber match.
Vanderbilt and Kentucky are scheduled to start at 12 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
