On Friday night in Gainesville, it didn’t take long for the Tennessee offense to bury the Florida Gators.
Down their top starter due to injury, Florida turned to Ryan Slater on the mound. Unfortunately for him, he ran into a redhot Volunteer offense. Tennessee roughed him up for seven runs in the top of the second inning, blowing this one open early.
A string of hits by Evan Russell, Luc Lipcius, Christian Moore, Cortland Lawson and Jordan Beck ended up plating four runs, and then Trey Lipscomb stepped up to the plate. He promptly drove yet another homerun out of the ballpark — a three-run shot to bring the Tennessee lead to 7-0.
