Tennessee baseball game recap: Vols score 9 runs in first inning, lambaste Vanderbilt to 17-1 run-rule win

Tennessee scored 17 runs on 11 hits, while starter Chase Dollander went seven innings and allowed just one run on six Vanderbilt hits as the Vols thrashed the Commodores 17-1 to secure their second series win of the year.

The one run Dollander gave up was a first-inning solo shot to Vandy’s three-hole hitter RJ Shreck. Dollander led off by striking out Vandy’s lead-off hitter Enrique Bradfield — a key considering if he gets on first, he’s definitely stealing second and third, likely without much resistance.

Dollander allowed a single after the home run, and it looked like Vanderbilt might be on its way to scoring a couple runs with two outs.
