Tennessee baseball avoided a series sweep at the hands of Ole Miss on Sunday, downing the Rebels 13-5 behind stellar outings from Henry Ford, Levi Clark and Blake Grimmer.
Grimmer was especially great for the Volunteers on Sunday, driving in 6 total runs with 3 home runs. He’s the first Vol to hit 3 home runs in the same game since Christian Moore did it during the Vols’ 2024 national title season.
Clark wasn’t far behind, hitting 2 home runs of his own as well as a double for a total of 4 RBIs on the day. Ford, not to be outdone, recorded 4 hits with 1 home run and 3 RBIs. The 3 Vols mentioned above accounted for all 13 runs the Vols put on the board Sunday evening.
The Volunteers, as mentioned earlier, fell in Games 1 and 2 to a strong Ole Miss lineup. The Rebels took Game 1 by a score of 7-4 before blitzing the Vols in Game 2, 8-1. Tennessee’s Game 3 win ended the Rebels’ 8-game winning streak, which included a series-clinching win over Florida and a series sweep of LSU last week.
The Vols will face Lipscomb on Tuesday before their next weekend series against Alabama at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville.
