KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee baseball team continued to flex its muscle against non-conference opponents over the weekend at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The Volunteers, ranked No. 19 in the nation, improved their record to 12-0 with a series sweep against George Washington.
UT had to come from behind in each of the first two games against the Colonials (6-5), but the Diamond Vols, who won 7-1 on Friday and 7-3 on Saturday, wasted little time pouncing on George Washington Sunday as they captured a 10-0 win thanks to home runs from Luc Lipcius and Connor Pavolony.
Lipcius, who missed most of last season due to injury, also doubled and knocked in three runs and scored two more for the Vols, who have hit 22 home runs in the season’s first 12 games.
Pavolony went 2-for-3 for Tennessee and drove in three runs.
On the mound, Jordan Leath threw four innings of scoreless relief. He had six strikeouts and surrendered two hits.
Sean Hunley started and tossed two innings for the Vols. Tennessee also got scoreless one-inning stints from Elijah Pleasants, Drew Gilbert (who started in center field and scored two runs in the game) and Kody Davidson.
