Tennessee baseball continued its torrid start to league play Saturday, blanking Florida in a 3-0 road win.
This time around, the offense was in short supply. The big blow came via a 2-run home run from Drew Gilbert in the 6th inning. A solo home run from Luc Lipcius was the only other run scored.
Drew Gilbert has left the yard.

On the mound, Blade Tidwell got the start and hurled 4.2 scoreless innings. Tidwell scattered 2 hits with 5 strikeouts against the Gators.
Tennessee turned to Camden Sewell out of the bullpen, and he was equally magnificent. Sewell went 4.1 scoreless without surrendering a hit and closed it out with a dominant 9th inning by striking out the side.
With the win, the Vols are now 16-1 in SEC play which ties the best start to conference play in league history. That mark ties Tennessee’s record start from the 1951 season.
VOLS WIN!!!
Sewell slams the door by striking out the side in the ninth!
