  "account": "Tennessee baseball dominated Lipscomb in their second fall exhibition game, winning 21-8 in a 10-inning contest on October 16 at Covenant Health Park in Knoxville. Following their 8-6 victory over Troy on October 11, the Volunteers began the game strongly and built on that momentum, finishing with 20 hits. Head coach Josh Elander praised the team's performance, calling it \"a platinum double-double.\"\n\nChris Ramirez led the offense, going 3-for-5 with a triple and a home run. Ramirez, who transferred from Cal Baptist, had reached base in all his at-bats, except for two fielder's choices. Lipscomb, not a high-powered opponent for Tennessee, saw every starter reach base by the third inning, with all but two players contributing runs. Trent Grindlinger and Andrew Duncan both had four RBIs, with Duncan adding a grand slam.\n\nParker Detmers, a Louisville native recovering from Tommy John surgery, made his debut for Tennessee and struck out six batters in two innings. Coach Elander praised Detmers' performance, noting he was \"similar to those previous ones, where if he does a little bit better job of controlling the running game behind him, then they won't score any runs.\"\n\nFreshmen Sean Dunlap and Cole Koeninger also made strong impressions. Dunlap went 2-for-4, including a three-run homer, and threw out a runner attempting to steal second. Koeninger pitched 2⅓ innings, walking four and striking out four. Both freshmen are eager to play and learn their roles on the team.",
