A flawless midweek stretch
Tennessee completed its midweek slate with a perfect 14‑0 record, capping the stretch with an 11‑1 victory over Belmont that showcased both pitching dominance and offensive firepower.
Right‑hander Nic Abraham turned in a career‑best performance, surrendering just one run on four hits over 5.2 innings while the team turned to three relievers who combined for 3.1 scoreless frames.
Power surge
The Vols launched six homers in the contest, including a 412‑foot two‑run shot by Levi Clark in the second inning and solo blasts from Jay Abernathy, Garrett Wright and Henry Ford in the fifth. Trent Grindlinger added a solo homer in the eighth, and Hunter High capped the scoring with a pinch‑hit two‑run homer that sealed the win.
Those long balls pushed Tennessee’s season total to its 105th through 100th home runs, marking the first SEC program to reach 100‑plus homers in five consecutive seasons.
The team now turns its attention to the regular‑season finale, a weekend series at Oklahoma City where they will look to carry the momentum into the next chapter.
