Dalton Bargo went 3-for-5 and recorded two home runs, five RBIs, four runs and one walk for the Vols. He led off the second inning with a solo home run and also hit a grand slam later in the second inning. Bargo is the fourth Vol all time to hit two home runs in the same inning, joining Luc Lipcius (2022 versus Notre Dame ), Kelly Edmundson (2006 versus Belmont) and Sonny Cortez (1998 versus North Carolina State).
Dean Curley also hit two home runs for Tennessee on Tuesday.
Tennessee's 29 runs against UNC Asheville tied for the most runs scored in a game during the Tony Vitello era. Tennessee scored 29 runs against Iona on Feb. 26, 2022.
The Vols will next host Samford, Friday-Sunday, for a three-game series at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
