Vanderbilt baseball breaks program single-season home run record
Vanderbilt baseball set its program single-season home run record as Braden Holcomb went deep against Missouri.
Vanderbilt baseball broke its single-season team home run record with its 101st long ball of the season as Braden Holcomb hit a solo shot during a game against Missouri on May 8. The home run put the Commodores up, 4-0. It was the 14th homer of the season for Holcomb.
He is tied for second on the team in homers with Brodie Johnston, behind team leader Mike Mancini with 15. The Commodores (28-22, 10-14 SEC) previously had a team home run record of 100 set in 2019, a season Vanderbilt won the national championship. Five different Commodores − Mancini, Johnston, Holcomb, Tommy Goodin and Colin Barczi − have hit double-digit home runs this season, the most for Vanderbilt since at least 1996.
Vanderbilt entered the May 8 contest at Taylor Stadium fourth in the country in home runs, behind Georgia, Oklahoma State and Mercer. Aria Gerson covers Vanderbilt athletics for The Tennessean. Contact her at agerson@gannett.
