Baseball battles back to sweep Florida 7-4

Next, Tennessee will meet Etsu in the state rivals against Etsu on Tuesday evening.

Knoxville, Tenn.-Die Volunteer No. 2 Tennessee completed a season of the first Sec series of the season with a 7: 4 victory against No. 6 Florida Gators on Sunday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

The big orange gathered from a 4: 1 deficit and took the lead in the sixth inning on a coupling with two out-RBI double from the right field wall of Cannon Peebles.

Reese Chapman came through again with an eighth Inning Homerun and added insurance runs when the Vols went to the last framework. Chapman, a Junior Right Field, scored in back-to-back games after achieving Homerun in Tennesses series clinching victory on Saturday afternoon.

Florida scored a 4-1 lead in the fourth and marked his first lead in the series. Three of the four runs were not deserved because the Vols had made several defense errors when they fought against strong winds.

Tennessee gained the lead in the sixth when Peebles doubled to Manny Marin and Abernathy. Chapman's two-run home in eighth place supplied the Vols into the last inning with a comfortable pillow.

Dylan Loy achieved victory on the hill and improved to 3-0 in the season. He connected his career high with five rashes and only had one goal in three innings of the relief. Nate Snead recorded his second rescue of the series and the third season season and excluded two batteries, while he was only a goal and a walk in the last two in our innings.

Next, Tennessee will meet with the competition against Etsu on Tuesday evening to complete his 10-game home stand before going to a series from Thursday-Saturday No. 16/17 Alabama on the way to a series from Thursday food day. The first place against the Buccaneers is planned on Tuesday at 5 p.m.
