How it Happened: Tennessee gets good pitching, makes quick work of Dayton 4-1
Tennessee kept it low-scoring but handled business on Saturday, taking down Dayton by a final score of 4-1 on a chilly Saturday evening.
Chase Burns was the story of the night, racking up a career-high 12 strikeouts as he worked into the seventh inning. Seth Halvorsen recorded his first-career save and Christian Moore drove in a team-high two runs. Tennessee will look for the series-sweep tomorrow (Sunday) at 2 pm.
