BaseVols start slow, finish strong, beat Mizzou 8-3

The first game of Tennessee’s three-game home series against Missouri didn’t start out like a typical, 2022 Volunteer baseball game. But it finished like one — with a Tennessee win.

The Vols have now tied some Florida team from a long time ago for the best start to an SEC season ever at 10-0.

UT trailed Missouri for more than six innings of Friday’s game and didn’t score a run until the bottom of the fifth. Tiger starter Spencer Miles was both effective and efficient — he allowed just four hits, one run and one walk while striking out four.
