Tennessee facing largest deficit of year as Notre Dame starts off hot in Super Regional

Tennessee is in an unfamiliar spot. Notre Dame showed up to play in Friday’s Knoxville Super Regional opener. The Irish made it 8-1 in the 4th inning, the first time the No. 1 Volunteers trailed by more than 5 runs all year.

Notre Dame has done its damage using the longball. The Irish have hit 4 home runs in the first 4 innings. UT has yet to lead in the game, with ND making it 2-0, 3-0, 3-0, 5-0 and 8-1 by leaving the yard in Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

In the top of the 4th inning, Tennessee made its second pitching change of the day to stop the bleeding at 8-1. It’s an 8-2 game in the bottom of the 4th inning after a Trey Lipscomb solo home run.

We’ll see if the Vols are able to battle back. The game is airing on ESPN2.
