The Tennessee hitters definitely picked up where they left off in final inning of Friday’s game with Blake Gilbert’s walk-off grand slam. The Vols scored seven of their nine runs in the first three innings, and all seven of those runs left the park off the barrell of Tennessee’s bats as home runs.
Both Liam Spence and Luc Lipcius homered twice for UT, with Spence starting the game with a lead-off round-tripper and then adding a three-run shot that scored Connor Pavolony and Pete Derkay in the second. Both of Lipcius’ home runs were solo shots, but the second one was a mammoth blast to straight-away center.
