Tennessee will go for a 10th consecutive victory Saturday afternoon at Georgia.
The ninth straight triumph came with ease.
Christian Moore and Christian Scott combined for five hits and five RBIs Friday night as the No. 18 Volunteers ventured into Foley Field and cruised 12-3 in the series opener. Tennessee improved to 32-14 overall and to 12-10 in Southeastern Conference play with just its third win all season away from Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
“When this team is relaxed, it allows them to be true to who they are,” Tennessee coach Tony Vitello told reporters afterward. “As the game went on, I felt like our team got loose. It can work out the opposite way often, but our guys seemed to be more and more into it and more and more relaxed as the game went on.”
The Bulldogs dropped to 25-20 and to 8-13 within the league.
