Christian Moore hit his third home run of the series and four other Vols left the yard, while Zander Sechrist and Nate Snead combined for 7 IP in which the duo scattered 11 hits but allowed just one walk and four runs as Tennessee won the deciding game of the series against the Rebels.
The bounce-back Sunday performance was reassuring for fans after they watched the orange and white beat Alabama convincingly in game one of last week’s SEC weekend matchup and then drop both the following games to lose the opening conference series.
Sechrist cruised through the top of the first, despite allowing a single and the runner getting to second on fan error from freshman shortstop Dean Curley.
