TCU could not overcome an early 5-0 deficit before falling 7-4 to Vanderbilt on Sunday in a nonconference baseball game played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Vanderbilt (12-4) struck for three runs in the first inning while sending eight batters to the plate against TCU starter Nick Lodolo (3-1). The Commodores added two more in the second to take a 5-0 lead.
Lodolo couldn't make it out of the second as he gave up five runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings.
The Horned Frogs (9-4) battled back in the second as Conner Shepherd launched his first career home run, a three-run shot to right-center, to make it 5-3.
