Tennessee starter Andrew Lindsey struck out 10 and retired 12 batters in a row from innings two-through-six, while Jared Dickey, Griffin Merritt and Christian Moore combined for eight hits, six RBIs and two home runs in the Vols 8-1 win against Charlotte Friday night.
Lindsey started things off with one of the weirdest half-innings I’ve seen. He threw a full-count walk to Charlotte leadoff hitter Blake Jackson. Lindsey tried a couple back-door curves at the top of the zone and the ump made it apparent the strike zone was gonna be tight. Lindsey proceeded to strike out the next batter on three pitches but followed that with a questionable hit-by-pitch that maybe glanced off three-hole hitter Cam Fisher’s helmet.
