Tennessee Baseball vs. Alabama Score, Updates Series Finale | Rocky Top Insider
SCORE: Tennessee 4, Alabama 3 | T4
*SCROLL DOWN FOR LIVE AT-BAT- BY AT-BAT FEED*
Fifth-ranked Tennessee baseball (18-2, 1-1 SEC) is set to battle fourteenth-ranked Alabama (16-3, 1-1 SEC) in Tuscaloosa at Sewell-Thomas Stadium Sunday in game three of a three-game series. Sunday’s contest will serve as a series rubber match as Tennessee won the series opener before losing game two to the Tide on Saturday night.
First pitch is at 2 p.m. ET on the SEC Network. It will be the second televised game of Tennessee’s season, as Saturday night’s game against the Tide served as the first. You can also listen to the game here.
The Vols enter the matchup coming off of their first loss since game two of the season, as the Tide won Saturday’s contest 6-3. Drew Beam bounced back after a rocky start to turn in a strong eight-inning performance, but the Vols’ offense couldn’t do enough to overcome the early deficit. Read all about Tennessee’s loss on Saturday night here.

Sunday will be the first series rubber match of Tennessee’s season, as the Vols swept UAlbany, Bowling Green and Illinois in their three previous series. The Vols did win a makeshift ‘rubber match’ on day three of opening weekend in Arlington by beating Baylor to go 2-1 in the Shriners Children’s College Showdown.
A series win would mark the fourth consecutive and most impressive of the season for Tennessee, as Alabama is the toughest opponent the Vols have faced.
Alabama’s Saturday win snapped a two-game losing streak, and they’ll be looking to carry their momentum into Sunday to get a series win of their own.

3B Billy Amick (R)
RF Kavares Tears (L)
LF Dylan Dreiling (L)
DH Robin Villeneuve (R)
CF Hunter Ensley (R)
SS Dean Curley (R)
C Cal Stark (R)
Lineup Notes:
- Ensley gets his second start in center of the weekend, Tears moves back to right field.
- Stark gets his first catcher start of the weekend, slides into the nine-hole.
- Villeneuve stays at DH for the third straight game.
- Bargo not in the lineup after he came up lame running to first base on Saturday night on a fly ball. Looked like a hamstring.
ALABAMA STARTING NINE:
3B Gage Miller
CF TJ McCants
LF Ian Petrutz
RF Evan Sleight
DH William Hamiter
C Mac Guscette
1B Will Hodo
SS Justin Lebron
2B Bryce Eblin
Pitching Matchup:
Vols So. RHP AJ Russell (0-0, 2.45 ERA, 2 app., 2 starts, 7.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 14 K, .231 opp. batting avg., 1.09 WHIP)
vs.
Crimson Tide Jr. RHP Hagan Banks (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 app, 1 start, 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, .091 opp. batting avg., 0.82 WHIP)
Pitching notes:
- Russell makes his return to the starting rotation since the UAlbany series, as he’s been dealing with soreness.
- This is Russell’s first SEC start of his career and first time ever starting on a Sunday.
- This is Banks’ second start but as the stats show, he hasn’t seen much action this year. Alabama doesn’t have a reliable Sunday guy, so they’re still experimenting to see if they can find one.

The Recipient of Taylor Swift’s Bouquet Toss Has Strong Tennessee Football, Lady Vols Basketball Ties | Rocky Top Insider
This past weekend, music icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce tied the knot and were married in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Among the long list of antendees featured celebrities and athletes with ties to the two parties.
One of the athletes in attendance was Kelce’s teammate on the Kansas City Chiefs, Trey Smith. Attending alongside the former Tennessee football standout was his sister, Ashley Smith.
On top of being present for one of the most publicized weddings in recent history, Ashley Smith is leaving with a souvenir of sorts. She caught Swift’s bouquet toss, traditionally meaning she will be the next to get married.
“Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T&T)ory,” Ashley Smith wrote on Instagram. “And somehow…I ended up catching Tay Tay’s bouquet. So here’s to believing it’s bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way. Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T!”

Along with being near the Tennessee football program as the sister of one of the Vols’ best players, Ashley Smith played a role within the team. Initially, she worked in the Tennessee football office as Director of Football Administration & Special Events. She was then elevated to Director of Student-Athlete Career Development in 2018. She is now the Manager of Player Engagement in the NFL.
“Ashley has done a fine job for us, and I believe she’ll really thrive in this role,” then-Athletic Director Phillip Fulmer said at the time of her promotion at UT. “She was fantastic in her role with football, but now that she’s working with all sports, she’ll be able to make a positive impact on more of our student-athletes. She understands how important it is that they have resources and advocates to help them transition to the next phase of their career.”
Ashley Smith graduated from Tennessee in 2013. During her time as a student, she served as the head student manager under Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols basketball program. After graduation, she worked in the NCAA’s national office in Indianapolis and earned a master’s degree at Florida before returning to UT.
