In the theme of Tennessee's 2025 season, mistakes cost it in the first. Tegan Kuhns allowed a single before a muffed throw by Andrew Fischer at first on a pickoff attempt allowed the runner to reach second.

On the steal of third, a throwing error by Cannon Peebles let the run cross.

In the bottom of the inning, Tennessee got the run back off the bat of Fischer. He skied one off the scoreboard in right field and let Vanderbilt hear about it as he rounded the bases.

This led to the dugouts being warned but no ejections.

The Commodores responded instantly after, though. They used a solo shot in the top of the second off Kuhns to grab back their one-run lead.

However, Tennessee snagged the run back right away. The Vols used Dean Curley getting on due to an error and a Levi Clark double to put two on with one out. Cannon Peebles produced a sac-fly to push across the tying run. This knotted the game up at two a piece after two innings.

The third saw runners get on for both Tennessee and Vanderbilt but no damage done. In the top of the fourth with two outs, Brayden Krenzel entered for Kuhns. He allowed one hit, a ball that struck him in the leg, but used a Curley sliding play up the middle to get out of the inning.

Tennessee would put a pair on base in the fourth, but stranded both.

Vanderbilt got the lead back in the fifth off an RBI single. The Vols once again, for the third time this game, responded in the same inning with a run of their own, though. This time, Curley knocked one through for an RBI.

In the sixth, after one out, Krenzel handed the ball to Franklin. He struck out the first batter he saw before nearly allowing a home run. Instead, Chris Newstrom got his glove on a ball to keep it in play and hold the runner to a triple.

It ultimately wouldn't matter, though. Vanderbilt homered in the next at-bat. This made way for Loy to enter and get out of the inning.
