Tennessee has secured another series win, beating Florida in Saturday’s conclusion of a weekend series in Gainesville. Saturday’s win provided some fireworks, to say the least, with the Vols blasting to a 16-3 win in 7 innings.

Jac Caglianone got the start on the mound for the Gators, and he was even staked to a 3-run lead by his offense. Ty Evans started the scoring with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 1st, and he drove in an unearned run on a throwing error in the bottom of the 3rd.

Unfortunately, Caglianone would be unable to hold that lead, and the Vols would really battle back with 11 runs in a wild 6th inning. At one point, Tennessee was scoring runs without even registering a hit.

That came when Kavares Tears struck out but the ball got away from the Gators. 2 runs scored as the throw down to 1st base also got away.

If there was an exclamation point needed, Christian Moore and Blake Burke provided it in the 7th inning. The power-hitting duo for the Vols went back-to-back, including a picture-perfect bat drop from Burke as Tennessee cemented its grip securely on the run-rule victory.

Hunter Ensley led the Vols with 7 RBI on the day, including a home run of his own. A trio of Vols also finished the game with 2 RBI in the blowout win.
