Also According to Tennessee Baseball, The runs came early and often for #9 Tennessee in Sunday’s 11-5 victory over Baylor to close out the Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Globe Life Field. After a frustrating night at the plate in Saturday’s extra-innings loss to Oklahoma, the Volunteers’ bats came to life in Sunday’s nightcap as the Big Orange cranked out 12 hits to improve to 2-1 on the year. With four teams having finished this weekend’s tournament with a 2-1 record, the Vols were tabbed as the 2024 Shriners Children’s College Showdown Champions after having the best run differential of the four clubs (Tennessee – +6, Oklahoma – +3, Texas Tech – +3, Oregon – +1). The Vols return to Knoxville to kick off a 15-game homestand with their 2024 home opener on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. against UNC Asheville. UT will also host East Tennessee State University on Wednesday.
