GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Blade Tidwell looked every bit worthy of his All-American status in top-ranked Tennessee's victory on Saturday night.
The sophomore star made his longest appearance of the season with 4.2 innings and fanned five Gators in the Vols series-clinching 3-0 win in Gainesville. Tidwell also earned his first pitching win this year.
Tennessee's run support came by way of home runs from Luc Lipcius and Drew Gilbert in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively. UT finished the night with six team hits.
Vols reliever Camden Sewell took over for a long relief appearance and a 4.1-inning save. Sewell struck out three batters and did not allow a single hit in the effort.
Tennessee improved to 36-3 this season and 16-1 in SEC play. The Vols look for another series sweep when they close things out in Gainesville on Sunday, April 24 at noon.
