Anchor Drop, April 1, 2023: Baseball keeps rolling

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt baseball has made us forget about the fretting we had over the offense a couple of weeks ago. The Commodores beat Georgia 9-2 last night, improving to 7-0 in the SEC and, with South Carolina getting run-ruled by Mississippi State last night, putting themselves in sole possession of first place and the last remaining undefeated team in the conference. Vanderbilt is now 21-5 overall and has won eight games in a row. Game 2 is at 2:00 PM CT today on the SEC Network+.

Both tennis teams beat Alabama on Friday, with the women sweeping the Tide 4-0 to improve to 4-5 in the SEC, while the men won 6-1 in Tuscaloosa and brought their record to 2-6.

Lacrosse visits East Carolina today at 11:00 AM CT on ESPN+.
