The Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team is back in action on Tuesday as they welcome the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Vanderbilt looks to get its bats going after getting swept and putting up only seven total runs against the Arkansas Razorbacks over the weekend.

Vanderbilt center fielder RJ Austin has struggled in SEC play, batting .176, and only got two hits in 12 at-bats over the weekend. Austin's had a hit in all seven midweek games, going 9 of 22 in such contests.

The Commodores look to get going against the Hilltoppers before traveling to Gainseville for a series against the Florida Gators.
