The Vols' lineup has accounted for five home runs, including a three-run homer from Kavares Tears to give Tennessee the lead in the sixth. Stark previously homered in the fifth while Dylan Dreiling hit another to lead off the seventh.

Tennessee leads Southern Miss, 12-3 in the bottom of the ninth inning.

A Vols win would secure a Super Regional berth next weekend against the winner of the Greenville Regional between East Carolina and Evansville.
