The Tennessee Vols went to Lexington this past weekend and earned a massive series win against the Kentucky Wildcats.
Tennessee dropped the first game of the series on Friday night, falling 5-3 to the Wildcats. The Vols rebounded on Saturday with a 9-4 win to force a rubber game on Sunday.
And that rubber game was a thriller. The Vols and the Wildcats went back and forth in a wild game that Tennessee won 13-11 thanks in large part to Christian Moore's three home runs.
Tennessee is now 33-7 on the season.
