Tennessee baseball is playing INSANE

are these homers just -barely- clearing the fence, or going "above and beyond" ? if you are hitting them 30 or 40 feet past the fence, is the "short fence" what is causing it? be nice to see distance estimates of how far they are traveling...

May have missed one but last 3 games these were the distances: 367, 348, 367, 395, 355, 362, 365, 427, 357, 384, 402.
Looking at the HRs in the Houston MLB park, I think the shortest HR was 348. So based on the shortest one in that MLB park, all the ones in Knoxville the last 3 games were further except 1 which was same distance.
Think they are at 42 for the year. 7 grand slams thru 13 games. Yearly record is 14 in 2003. They have a great opportunity to better that.
 
BaseVols sweep for the weekend (series attendance over 17K). The game on Sunday was another run rule game. But highlight was for Stone Lawless:

"UT hit five more home runs on the day, including a pair from redshirt-freshman catcher Stone Lawless, who finished with a career-high four RBIs. Lawless' second long ball was a walk-off, two-run shot into the porches in the bottom of the seventh."

Vols set a new UT record for best start of the season at 16-0 they have 1 more non-conf game at 1630 on TUE. Then the gators visit Knoxville for a 3-game series opening SEC play for UT.
