Tops fall 8-1 to No. 4 Vanderbilt

Western Kentucky's baseball team fell to No. 4 Vanderbilt, 8-1, on Tuesday night at Hawkins Field in Nashville.

The loss dropped the Hilltoppers to 16-14, while the Commodores improved to 24-5.

“Eight hits, 10 walks and three errors that cost us five to six runs, at least,” WKU coach Marc Rardin said in a news release. “Going overboard there with three errors and then those 10 walks. Yeah, it was not pretty. It was not how you wanted to compete on a Tuesday.”

WKU right-hander Jack Bennett got the nod to make his collegiate starting debut on the mound in his 13th appearance of the season.
