Kentucky’s bats jumped on Tennessee starter Drew Beam for four runs in the first two innings, and despite the Vols knocking eight hits and drawing seven walks, UT failed to score a run after scoring 20 in the first two games of the weekend as the Wildcats took game three 10-0 to dodge the series sweep.
Beam lasted just 1.2 IP, allowing three hits and four runs in the first, including a home run from Kentucky’s Hunter Gilliam and a run-scoring double from catcher Devin Burkes. He didn’t help himself with his third error of the season on a failed pick-off attempt after Jackson Gray’s lead-off single.
