After dropping game one of the three-game series on Friday night, Rob Vaughn and No. 14 Alabama defeated No. 5 Tennessee on Saturday night 6-3 to even the series at one game a piece.
Alabama jumped out front early with one run in the first, two in the second, and three in the third to build a six-run advantage after three full innings. With the hot start at the plate and solid pitching throughout, the Tide was able to end the Vols’ 17-game winning streak.
Following the win, head coach Rob Vaughn had the following to say:
“It was a good night for us tonight, but it’s going to be a quick turnaround tomorrow. We have to come out and get ready for a big punch from a talented and emotional group in that other dugout and (Tennessee) is going to come out swinging early. We’ll have to weather the storm and swing back, and it’s going to be a heck of a game tomorrow.”
The rubber match of the series will be played on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
