Base Vols hold onto top spot in polls after sweep of South Carolina

Well, there was at least some good news on Sunday for Tennessee athletics. The Base Vols, as usual, delivered that news with a 7-1 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks to secure a weekend sweep in Columbia. Tennessee won Friday 11-7 and delivered a late 7-5 win after Cannon Peebles blasted a ball over the wall in right center in the ninth inning on Saturday.

Tennessee improves to 26-2 on the season and 8-1 in SEC play, which has them in a tie with Georgia and Arkansas at the top of the SEC. The Vols also won their 12th straight SEC series going back to last season.
