Anchored by the youth on its pitching staff, the Diamond Vols went three-and-oh against the two-time College World Series Champion South Carolina Gamecocks this weekend.
GAME 1: VOLS WIN 8-3
Freshman Friday starter Chase Burns was dynamic in the series opener on Friday. He pitched a season-high 6.2 innings, struck out nine and surrendered just one earned run. South Carolina managed just four base runners against Burns — on two hits and on two walks — but drove home just a single run. That lone run scored ballooned Burns’ season ERA to 0.
