The Tennessee Volunteers continued their midweek dominance, securing their second victory over UNC Asheville this season with an emphatic 11-1, eight-inning win at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The win improves the Vols' record to 25-12 as they build momentum.

After establishing a 2-0 lead early on, the game remained tight until the late innings. The real story, however, was the explosive bat of Manny Marin. The game broke open in the seventh inning when Marin stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and launched a grand slam, part of a five-run rally that blew the game wide open. Marin finished the day 2-for-4 with a staggering six RBIs, proving to be the undeniable offensive catalyst.

He wasn't alone in the hit parade. Garrett Wright set the tone early with an RBI double, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Blake Grimmer added a key RBI single during the seventh-inning surge, and Trent Grindlinger sealed the run-rule victory with a walk-off RBI single in the eighth.

On the mound, the Vols' pitching staff delivered a collective gem. Starter Blaine Brown and a committee of relievers kept the Bulldogs' bats quiet, with Taylor Tracey earning his first win of the season with two solid innings of work. This commanding performance follows a 10-3 victory over UNC Asheville back in February, showcasing Tennessee's depth and firepower in non-conference play.
