An eight-run fifth inning and seven frames of two-run ball from SEC Pitcher of the Year Chase Dollander helped propel the Vols past Notre Dame, 12-2.
Tennessee got on the board quickly Saturday, with a Seth Stephenson lead-off single coming around to score off a Trey Lipscomb, two-out double. But that ended up as the only run either team pushed across through the first four innings.
Dollander didn’t allow a hit in the first but then had to work through a leadoff single and subsequent swipe of second base from Notre Dame’s Jack Zyska in the second.
