How it Happened
Rhode Island got on the board first, taking a 1-0 lead on an RBI groundout by Eric Genther that scored Addison Kopack. The lead was short-lived however, as Tennessee responded with four runs in the bottom of the frame.
 
A two-run homer by Anthony DePino cut the Vols lead to 4-3 in the top of the fourth, but that was as close as it got. Tennessee added five runs in the fifth, and another three in the seventh for the eventual 12-3 win as well as the series sweep.

Inside the Box Score

• Freshman Anthony DePino homered, singled, walked, drove in two runs and scored once.
• Freshman Eric Genther walked twice and had one run and one RBI.
• Redshirt freshman Rob Butler and redshirt sophomore Addison Kopack each singled for the Rams. Kopack also scored a run and stole his team-leading fourth base of the season.

• Junior Broc French struck out three over an inning and two thirds of scoreless relief.
