Top-ranked Tennessee played the rubber match of their three-game set against No. 19 Auburn on Saturday in Knoxville, as the Volunteers notched their 10th series win of the season with a 5–3 victory.
The Vols continued their strong play, as the series win is another reminder that the program is a serious national title contender.
Pitcher Ben Joyce stole the show, as he turned in a strong four innings in relief, giving up only one hit and registering six strikeouts.
But outside of the pitching line itself, the story line following the game was Joyce’s fastball.
