Monday, April 19, 2021
Four huge home runs, including three from senior
Evan Russell, powered No. 3 Tennessee to an 8-4 victory over in-state and SEC rival No. 2 Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
However, Vandy won on Friday and Sunday to take the series.
In the Saturday contest, Russell tied the single-game program record for the second time this season with three massive homers. The Lexington, Tennessee, native saved his best for the last, blasting a grand slam with the Vols trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning. Russell finished the day 3-for-3 with a walk and a career high six runs batted in for the Big Orange.
