The Tennessee Baseball team was able to bounce back on Saturday evening and take Game 2 of the series with LSU 4-1.

The Vols dropped Game 1 on Friday night.

Tennessee got busy early putting two runs on the board in the first inning. After LSU got on the board in the second, the Vols would add a single run during innings 3 and 4.

The 3-run lead would hold up to the end for a Volunteers win and to force a rubber match in Game 3.

Bake Grimmer led the way offensively with a home run and 2-RBIs, but the pitching would be the story of the day.

Tegan Kuhns started on the mound for Tennessee completing 4-innings, while allowing 4-hits and 1-run. Kuhns had one strike-out on the night. 43 of 69 total pitches were strikes.

Kuhns came out a bit earlier than what was anticipated. The starting pitcher took a very mild hit to the head area but bounced back up and went back to pitching. It is not confirmed on if the hit impacted the decision to make a change or not, but one would assume it was a safety precaution none the less.

When Kuhns was removed from the mound, in checked a talented freshman who undoubtly has ice in his veins.
