Tennessee Baseball Dominates Indiana State 12-1

No. 15 Tennessee baseball rebounded from recent struggles with a dominant 12-1 run-rule victory over Indiana State, ending the game in seven innings. The Vols showcased an explosive offense, hitting five home runs, with leadoff hitter Gavin Kilen leading the charge with two homers and four RBIs. Tennessee's lineup changes sparked early and aggressive at-bats, resulting in 12 runs on 11 hits and contributions from several players, including multi-hit games from Kilen and Andrew Fischer. Indiana State managed to score only once, despite putting runners on base in every inning, while Tennessee's pitching, led by starter Michael Sharman and reliever Austin Breedlove, effectively stifled the Sycamores' offense. The win provided a much-needed morale boost for the Vols after a series of losses and signaled renewed momentum as they prepare for their upcoming series against Vanderbilt. Head coach Tony Vitello emphasized the team's adaptability and credited a return to fundamentals for the turnaround.
