Tennessee Completes Series Sweep of Oklahoma
The Vols rallied in a rain‑delayed contest on Saturday to post a 9‑4 victory over Oklahoma, wrapping up a three‑game series win.
Starter Evan Blanco earned his sixth win in ten SEC starts, shutting out the Sooners after they plated three runs in the opening inning.
Reliever Brandon Arvidson shut down the Oklahoma lineup over 2.2 innings, striking out several batters and recording his third save of the season.
Tennessee capitalized on two Oklahoma errors that produced three unearned runs, giving the Vols an early cushion.
Offensive Highlights
Levi Clark doubled down the left‑field line, and Trent Grindlinger drove in five of the nine runs, including an RBI single that scored Henry Ford.
Blaine Brown and Manny Marin each delivered sac‑fly outs that brought home runs, while Dasan Harris’s eighth‑inning RBI triple trimmed the margin but could not spark a comeback.
Reese Chapman’s dropped deep fly ball allowed Grindlinger to cross the plate, sealing the final score as the Vols took advantage of Oklahoma’s miscues.
Grindlinger and Marin combined for five RBIs, underscoring their pivotal role in the offense, while Arvidson’s late‑game dominance secured the win.
