COLLEGE STATION, Texas \u2014 Vanderbilt dropped both games of a doubleheader at No. 20 Texas A&M Friday at Blue Bell Park, losing 8-4 in Game 1 and 12-0 in Game 2.<\/p>\n
Vanderbilt and Texas A&M traded blows in the first game of the day. After clubbing five home runs on Thursday, the Commodores hit four more in Game 1 of Thursday\u2019s doubleheader.<\/p>\n
Every time Vandy left the yard, however, the Aggies responded with runs of their own and scored in each of the final five frames to win 8-4.<\/p>\n
Texas A&M took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a wild pitch followed by a two-run home run.<\/p>\n
Vanderbilt entered the scoring column in the top of the third with back-to-back solo homers by Korbin Reynolds and Mike Mancini.<\/p>\n
Texas A&M used an error to go up 4-2 in the fourth but another solo shot by the Commodores, this time Brodie Johnston, pulled the Dores back within a run in the fifth.<\/p>\n
The Aggies singled home a run in the home half of the fifth to take a 5-3 advantage.<\/p>\n
Mike Mancini homered again in the sixth, his second of the game and Vandy\u2019s fourth, to once again make it a one-run deficit.<\/p>\n
The Aggies added runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to pull away and win 8-4.<\/p>\n
Vanderbilt doubled up Texas A&M in hits, 10-5, but the Aggies took advantage of 13 walks and three errors.<\/p>\n
Mancini finished the game 3-for-4. Tommy Goodin and Reynolds tallied two hits apiece.<\/p>\n
Texas A&M got off to another hot start in Game 2 of the day.<\/p>\n
The Aggies hit two-run homers in the first and second innings, a three-run shot in the third and another two-run home run in the fourth to take a 9-0 lead after the first four frames.<\/p>\n
Texas A&M was kept off the board in the fifth but three runs in the sixth set the home side up for a 12-0 run-rule win in seven innings.<\/p>\n
Vanderbilt (19-14, 6-6 SEC) returns home to host Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday before No. 11 Oklahoma comes to town for a three-game series beginning Thursday at Hawkins Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"COLLEGE STATION, Texas \u2014 Vanderbilt dropped both games of a doubleheader at No. 20 Texas A&M Friday at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1816,18918,18921,18920,18919,18922,1532,20803,27,29,28,18927,796,18928,18929,18923,18915,18916,18917,18926,18925,18924],"class_list":{"0":"post-235003","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-commodores","10":"tag-commodores-baseball","11":"tag-commodores-basketball","12":"tag-commodores-football","13":"tag-commodores-soccer","14":"tag-headlines","15":"tag-sport-category-featured-category","16":"tag-texas","17":"tag-texas-headlines","18":"tag-texas-news","19":"tag-vanderbilt-athletics","20":"tag-vanderbilt-commodores","21":"tag-vanderbilt-commodores-baseball-roster","22":"tag-vanderbilt-commodores-football-roster","23":"tag-vanderbilt-stadium","24":"tag-vanderbilt-university","25":"tag-vanderbilt-university-athletics","26":"tag-vuc","27":"tag-vuc-baseball","28":"tag-vuc-basketball","29":"tag-vuc-football"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
