Over the weekend, the 19th ranked Tennessee Volunteers baseball team opened up its 2021 campaign, waging war against the Georgia Southern Eagles. Throughout the duration of the three-game set, the Eagles tried to spoil a perfect start by amassing at least one upset – an effort that was thwarted largely with well-timed home runs.
In game one, a 5-3 win, Tennessee scored two in the first inning and wouldn’t relinquish its lead. A Jordan Beck double plated a pair in the top of the first. Then, in the third, Luc Lipcius doubled in a run before he would go to score on an error, extending the lead to 4-0.
