Knoxville, TN – What a stunning day on the baseball field! The Tennessee Volunteers took their skills to the diamond on Tuesday, completely dominating UNC Asheville with a staggering 29-4 victory. And stealing the spotlight was none other than Dalton Bargo, who had a spectacular inning that not many will forget anytime soon!
Dalton Bargo kicked off the magic in the second inning with a cracking solo home run to right-center field. This stunning hit brought Tennessee within a just a run, making it 3-2. But hang onto your hats, because that was only the beginning! A bit later in the same inning, Bargo launched a grand slam that soared over the batter’s eye in center field. This mighty swing helped Tennessee rack up an incredible nine runs during the second inning, giving them a commanding 9-3 lead.
With this performance, Bargo etched his name into Vols history, becoming the fourth player ever to hit two homers in a single inning. The last player to accomplish this was Luc Lipcius back in 2022. Bargo now joins the legendary company of Kelly Edmundson (2006) and Sonny Cortez (1998). This is quite an achievement, considering Bargo has hit three two-homer games in his career, with previous displays against Auburn and Evansville in 2022.
Throughout the game against UNC Asheville, Tennessee showcased their power at the plate, hitting a total of four home runs. Not just satisfied with Bargo’s incredible contributions, Dean Curley and Gavin Kilen also joined the home run party. Curley kicked things off with a lead-off home run in the first inning, while Kilen’s three-run shot followed closely behind in the second inning. Teamwork at its finest!
The stats from this matchup are staggering. Tennessee accumulated an impressive 17 hits throughout the game while UNC Asheville’s pitchers struggled, allowing a whopping 22 walks. The second inning alone featured 14 batters, highlighting the powerhouse performance of the Vols. Bargo ended the day driving in five runs and scoring four times himself – talk about making an impact!
This blowout victory improved Tennessee’s record to a perfect 4-0 for the season, boasting an astounding combined score of 75-6 in those games. Under Head Coach Tony Vitello, Tennessee has an impressive 65-10 record in midweek contests, showcasing their dominance in these critical matchups. Furthermore, this latest win marked the team’s 11th consecutive victory over UNC Asheville, demonstrating their continued superiority in this rivalry.
As the Vols bask in their victory and the latest achievement by Bargo, fans can look forward to the upcoming series against Samford. Tennessee will host a thrilling three-game set, starting on Friday. With the spirit high and the bats hot, who knows what other exciting moments lie ahead?
