15 runs in the seventh and eighth innings lift Vols over Auburn 17-4

On Friday, Tennessee baseball turned a rally into a route.

The Vols beat Auburn 17-4, despite managing just three hits through the game’s first six frames and trailing 4-2 going into the bottom of the seventh.

15 combined runs in the seventh and eighth innings totally changed the complexion of this game. Shocking, right?

UT pushed two runs across in the second via a leadoff single, a subsequent walk and some messy defense from Auburn. But the Tigers erased that lead by touching normally-reliable reliever Will Mabrey for four runs (one of those runs was actually charged to starter Chase Burns) in the sixth.
