Luc Lipcius ends career as Tennessee’s home run king.

Notre Dame (40-16) defeated No. 1 Tennessee (57-9), 7-3, in the NCAA Tournament Knoxville Super Regional series finale Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

The loss ends Tennessee’s season.

Graduate student first baseman Luc Lipcius went 1-for-4 with one home run, one RBI and one run.

The home run was Lipcius’ 19th of the season and he became Tennessee’s career home run leader (40). Evan Russell ended his Tennessee career with 39 home runs.

“The records are whatever, but it’s just this group of guys that was one of my favorites of all- time,” Lipcius said about what the 2022 season meant to him. “That’s the hardest thing to give up. It’s really hard to believe it’s over. That’s the great thing about being on a team like this — the relationships are never over.

“I know I’ve got their backs. I know they have mine. We’ll be in contact and I can’t wait to follow all of their great careers.”

Luc Lipcius discusses Tennessee’s career home run record

Luc Lipcius discusses Tennessee’s career home run record.

No. 1 Tennessee (57-8) defeated Notre Dame (39-16), 12-4, Saturday in game No. 2 of the NCAA Tournament Knoxville Super Regional at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

First baseman Luc Lipcius went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBIs, three runs and one stolen base.

Lipcius and Evan Russell are tied for most home runs (39) in a career at Tennessee.

“You try not to think about that stuff,” Lipcius said. “You try to just go out there and play. Of course, it’s impossible not to think about it, but like I said, it’s just a game and no one’s really chasing these records. It’s really cool after the fact that it happened, and Todd Helton is one of the greats of Tennessee and of all time.

“It’s really cool that two old guys are just hanging out up there at the top. You know it doesn’t really matter to me, I want him to have as much success as he can. I bet he wants me to have as much success as I can. I just want to see us win that last game this season.”
