The Vols and Bulldogs were tied, 3-3, with one out in the eighth inning. Bases were loaded for Tennessee when Tony Vitello called on Clark to pinch-hit for the Vols.
With a 3-1 count, Clark hit a grand slam in his only at-bat to give Tennessee a four-run lead entering the ninth inning.
"Coach V told me to be ready," Clark said. "Didn't really know when. Came in, bases loaded, one out, just trying to do it for the guy next to you, you know, not selfish, especially 3-1. Make him throw a pitch right where you want it and hit it."
After the Vols' win in game No. 2, Tennessee will host Samford in a series finale on Sunday. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m. EST at Lindsey Nelson Stadium (SEC Network+).
