The Tennessee Volunteers aren’t done quite yet in Hoover.
The Vols rallied from a 5-3 deficit to eliminate the Mississippi State Bulldogs 6-5 on Friday night in an elimination game in the SEC tournament. Drew Beam pitched 4.2 innings and allowed 5 earned runs with 4 strikeouts on 84 pitches. Aaron Combs picked up the win. Blake Burke reached in all five appearances with a game-high 3 hits, including the game-winning solo home run.
The Vols scrapped their way out to a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning. A sac fly, a double steal, and an RBI single got UT on the board with single runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, respectively.
