Blake Grimmer, Levi Clark and Henry Ford combined to hit six home runs for Tennessee baseball in a 13-5 win over Ole Miss in the type of performance the Vols hoped would eventually occur this season.
The trio aligned for long balls in the series finale on April 19 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. It had been a long time coming for the three sluggers to get hot at the same time.
“The horses were running. That’s it,” UT coach Josh Elander said. “It was good to see Levi do his deal. Grimmer had an amazing day. It was a really good day for those guys at the plate.”
The half-dozen homers helped the Vols (26-14, 8-10 SEC) avoid a sweep and stop an eight-game winning streak by the Rebels (29-12, 10-8). Ole Miss won 7-4 in Game 1 and 8-1 in Game 2 to leave Knoxville with a series win.
But the Vols enjoyed seeing some of their bats with the biggest potential line up in Game 3 of the series.
Grimmer tied a program record with three home runs. He hit a solo homer, a two-run homer and a three-run shot. He became the first UT player to hit three homers in a game since Christian Moore did it against Kentucky in 2024.
Clark smashed a pair of two-run homers, and he added a double for good measure.
Ford went 4-for-5 with a double and a three-run homer. He became the first UT player to record four hits in a game this season.
Why Levi Clark could be Tennessee's difference-maker
Tennessee has rarely gotten Ford, Clark and Grimmer on the same page. But it’s better late than never.
