Where Tennessee Vols baseball ranks in top 25 after series win against Kentucky

Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Zach Ragan | Last updated 4/22/24

The Tennessee Vols went to Lexington this past weekend and earned a massive series win against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Tennessee dropped the first game of the series on Friday night, falling 5-3 to the Wildcats. The Vols rebounded on Saturday with a 9-4 win to force a rubber game on Sunday.

And that rubber game was a thriller. The Vols and the Wildcats went back and forth in a wild game that Tennessee won 13-11 thanks in large part to Christian Moore's three home runs.

Tennessee is now 33-7 on the season.

As a result of the big weekend series win against Kentucky, the Vols jumped from No. 4 to No. 3 in the latest top 25 rankings from D1 Baseball.

The Wildcats were No. 3 in last week's top 25. They swapped places with the Vols after dropping the series to Tennessee.

Next up for the Vols is a Tuesday matchup in Knoxville against Western Carolina. Tennessee will then host Missouri this weekend for a three game series that gets started on Thursday.

Missouri, which is where Vols head coach Tony Vitello played college baseball, is 18-23 so far this season. The Tigers dropped two of three at home against the LSU Tigers this past weekend.
