Tennessee Baseball Routs Lipscomb 21-8 in Fall Exhibition Slugfest
Tennessee’s offense put on a show in fall ball, pounding out 20 hits in a 21-8 rout of Lipscomb in a 10-inning fall exhibition on October 16 at Covenant Health Park in Knoxville.
The long ball did most of the damage for head coach Josh Elander’s Volunteers. Freshman Sean Dunlap launched a three-run home run, Baylor transfer Travis Sanders added a three-run shot of his own, and Wright State transfer Andrew Duncan broke the game open with a grand slam. Duncan and Trent Grindlinger drove in four runs apiece.
Chris Ramirez finished 3-for-5 and came up a home run shy of the cycle, while right-hander Parker Detmers got the start on the mound as Tennessee worked through a long list of arms in the extended exhibition format.
For a roster rebuilt with transfers and freshmen, the opener was an early statement: the new-look Vols can score in bunches, and the newcomers are already right in the middle of it.

Florida State Splits With North Florida to Wrap Up Opening Fall Ball Weekend
Florida State wrapped up its opening weekend of fall ball with a split against North Florida on October 17 at Dick Howser Stadium, winning the first six-inning game 7-1 before the Ospreys took the second 7-2. Combined with Friday’s sweep of Jacksonville, the Seminoles won three of their four fall ball games on the weekend.
Freshman outfielder Genson Veras stayed hot, collecting two hits and two RBI with a home run – a solo shot that put Florida State back in front in the opener. Senior outfielder Brody DeLamielleure went 3-for-4 on the day, and junior catcher Coy Clements drove in a pair of runs.
The pitching staff continued to impress. Senior left-hander Payton Manca threw 2.0 scoreless, hitless innings, junior Jordan Martinez added 2.0 shutout innings with three strikeouts, and freshmen Spencer Krasner and Donovan Thiery each tossed a no-hit inning, with Thiery lighting up the radar gun at 97-99 mph.
Saturday was also Fan Day in Tallahassee, with autographs and kids running the bases after the games. Florida State’s fall schedule continues October 24 against South Florida in Clearwater and concludes with the Garnet & Gold All-Star Game on October 30.
