According to Tennessee Baseball, A big day at the plate from Christian Moore and a solid group effort from the pitching staff led #4 Tennessee to an 8-4 victory over LSU on Sunday afternoon in front of another capacity crowd at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, completing the series sweep against the Tigers. The win was the eighth straight for the Volunteers over the Bayou Bengals in Knoxville, including the second consecutive regular-season sweep (2021). Tennessee has now swept 14 SEC regular-season series during head coach Tony Vitello’s seven years as head coach after posting just two series sweeps in conference play from 2012-17. The Vols host Bellarmine on Tuesday night at 5 p.m. before hitting the road for a weekend series at #8 Kentucky next weekend, which will feature the top two teams in the eastern division standings.
Also According to Tennessee Softball, With a stellar offensive performance from senior Zaida Puni, the fourth-ranked Lady Vols subdued the No. 16 Bulldogs on Sunday, taking down Mississippi State 7-3 at Nusz Park to clinch the series victory. Leading Tennessee’s (32-7, 12-3 SEC) offensive efforts, Puni went 3-for-4 at the plate, blasting two balls over the fence and finishing the game with three runs, three hits and three RBI’s. Tennessee has now won 13 of its last 14 conference series following its victory over Mississippi State on Sunday to clinch the three-game set. Tennessee is set to host LSU at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium in a three-game series beginning on Friday, April 19 at 5 p.m.
