Tennessee baseball sent its home crowd into a frenzy on Tuesday, wrapping up the regular season at Lindsey Nelson Stadium with a dominant 11-1 victory over in-state foe Belmont in eight innings. The win pushed the Vols to 35-18 overall and 13-14 in SEC play, showcasing the power and poise that has defined their season.

The Vols continued their stranglehold on the all-time series, now leading 17-4—with every game played in Knoxville. Tuesday's win marked their 12th straight victory over the Bruins, a testament to Tennessee's growing legacy in this rivalry.

On the mound, Nic Abraham delivered a stellar start, tossing 5.2 innings to improve to 2-0 on the year. He struck out four batters while allowing just one earned run on four hits, needing only 50 pitches—39 of which were strikes—to keep the Bruins off balance. Brady Frederick then closed the door with 1.2 innings of relief, adding another strikeout to seal the run-rule victory.

The real fireworks came from the Tennessee bats, which erupted for 12 hits—including six home runs. The long ball brigade featured Jay Abernathy Jr., Levi Clark, Henry Ford, Trent Grindlinger, Hunter High, and Garrett Wright, each sending one over the fence. Clark, Grindlinger, and Wright each collected two hits, while Reese Chapman chipped in with a 1-for-4 day, scoring a run in the eighth inning.

With the regular-season finale in the books, the Vols now turn their attention to a crucial three-game series against Oklahoma, set for Thursday through Saturday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City. Following that, Tennessee will head to Hoover, Alabama, for the SEC Tournament from May 19-24 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.

For Vols fans, Tuesday was a perfect send-off at home—and a reminder that this team is built for a deep postseason run.
