Volunteers Pull Out Late-Game Win, 4-3
The outcome was not decided until the very end at Madera College Grounds.

The Tennessee Volunteers scooted past the Kansas Jayhawks, 4-3, at Madera College Grounds. Tennessee pitcher Philip Sears, in particular, performed like a star. Noah McQuirter picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Mike Herzer suffered the loss.

Tennessee got a knockout punch from A.J. Ellenburg. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Sears said.

With the win, Tennessee has a record of 16-12. Kansas falls to 11-17.
