Tennessee continued its march of dominance this weekend by sweeping the No. 1 team in the country, Ole Miss, by a combined score of 26-7.
GAME 1: VOLS WIN 12-1
Tennessee’s Friday-night games oughta be must-watch TV for Vol fans, because UT’s freshman pitcher Chase Burns is really, really good.
Burns was his usual, dynamic self Friday. He took a perfect-game bid into the 5th and finished his night with 11 Ks in seven innings of work. He surrendered zero walks, two hits and just one run in 106 pitches.
The Ole Miss batters got an up-close look at Burns’ mid-to-high 90s fastball/ mid-to-high 80s slider combination that’s befuddled hitters all year.
