Tennessee appeared to be improving its wretched road record this weekend at Georgia, but it was only temporary.
After cruising to a 12-3 win in Friday night’s series opener and falling 3-1 in a competitive contest Saturday, the No. 18 Volunteers were thumped 9-4 in Sunday’s finale to fall to 3-12 this season away from Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Vols are 32-16 overall and 12-12 in Southeastern Conference play with two league series remaining.
Tennessee is 10-2 in SEC play at home and 2-10 on the road.
“There were some things to take away. There is always something to take away,” Vols coach Tony Vitello told reporters afterward. “They had the right attitude and the right approach all three days. We played much better than we have on the road.
“Nobody, including me, wants any consolation or crap like that, but it was a much better effort.”
