Griffin Merritt blows this one wide open with a three-run homer. He knew it was out as soon as the ball left his bat.

What a performance, again, by @Vol_Baseball starter Andrew Lindsey.
Last two starts:
15.1 IP
1 run
8 hits
1 BB
15 Ks
Vols win would make them 6-0 in his last 6 starts.— Vince Ferrara (@VinceSports) June 3, 2023
What an impressive performance so far tonight by @Vol_Baseball. Andrew Lindsey electric with eight K's in six shutout thus far, and Griffin Merritt and Christian Moore each with homers so far tonight. #bueno

Griffin Merritt left his feet, the bat left his hands, and the ball almost left Clemson's Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
Tennessee had a picture-perfect postseason start – as did Andrew Lindsey — in smashing Charlotte 8-1. https://t.co/3upN8WF1qF
