Tennessee finished its 56-game regular season with Saturday afternoon’s 8-4 loss at Arkansas.

Volunteers first baseman Andrew Fischer got on base in all 56.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound junior from Manasquan, New Jersey, went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run during the series finale against the Razorbacks, and he also drew a walk. His two-run homer in the sixth inning was his 22nd of the spring, which leads the Southeastern Conference.

“Man, he’s a tough hitter, and he’s just got such a good eye at the plate,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said afterward during a news conference. “He can hit left-handed pitchers, and even when he doesn’t hit it well, he top-spins it to get those singles. He has 22 home runs, and we only gave up one to him in three games, so I guess that’s pretty good.

“I think he had three last weekend.”
