Five-ish hours after the first pitch, Kentucky dropped the Vols 3-2 in 13 innings.
With two outs in the bottom of the 13th, UK’s John Thrasher slapped a triple into right field, and Alonzo Rubalcaba drove him home for the win four pitches later.
Tennessee had a multitude of chances to put some runs on the board and just couldn’t take advantage. The Vols fizzled out squandered bases-loaded opportunities in three-straight innings to start the game and stranded 16 total base runners.
Seth Stephenson and Jorel Ortega kicked off the game with consecutive hits, but it was pretty much all downhill from there for the offense.
