Vols’ starter AJ Causey gave up eight earned runs in his second-straight outing — this time in just 1.1 IP — and the offense managed just two hits and no runs after the second frame as Auburn took game one of the weekend series by a comfortable 9-5 margin.
The fireworks went off early Friday as the teams scored 13 of the game’s 14 runs in the first two innings.
Tennessee struck first with a Christian Moore double followed by Blake Burke’s 17th double of the year, which places him in a tie for first in the NCAA.
