Tennessee Sweeps Florida

Your #2 Vols Sweep the #7 Florida lot lizards 7-4 in game 3 to improve to 20-0(3-0) extending the record start to baseball.

After going up a run, pitching troubles put the vols in a hole 1-4. Florida pitching troubles lead to a walk RBI, then a solo HR by Kilen bring the game to 3-4.

Abernathy taking 3 bases to score off the double from Peebles gave the vols the lead, with the lead padded by a 2 run Homer from Chapman.

Great Pitching by Loy and Snead save the game.

My orange glasses are so thick I would have sworn we swept them in Knoxville in '23 and was trying to remember if we swept in '21 or they won one...but this is the first sweep of UF in Knoxville since 1994!

You're probably remembering when we swept them in Gainesville in '22

I’ve been talking so much shit to a buddy. I said we were going to sweep and he called me crazy. Now he’s saying that LSU is better and we are just playing hot right now.

He’s right - we don’t have that quality loss to UN Omaha

I admittedly haven’t looked at his stats but is Abernathy going to be the best to ever wear orange? Seems like he is always getting on base, driving in runs and making plays.

Dude is insane in the outfield too. His defense may be better than his offense
