The University of Tennessee baseball team has recorded its best season start in history after sweeping St. Bonaventure. With a 13-2 win last Sunday in Knoxville, the Vols improved to 16-0. Tennessee has run-ruled half of its opponents and leads the nation in home runs, reaching 49 after hitting five more last Sunday, according to WVLT.

Junior Dalton Bargo played a key role in the Vols' offense this weekend. He finished the series with two home runs and a .500 batting average. In a statement to Knox News, Coach Tony Vitello credited Bargo's recent success to his "different attitude" and approach.

Tennessee has set a new program-best start following last year’s national title, despite significant roster changes. The team’s pitching staff holds a 1.83 ERA, frequently limiting opponents to one run or fewer. As SEC play approaches, Tennessee will face West Georgia in its final non-conference game before hosting Florida. Tennessee and Florida State remain the only undefeated teams, as mentioned by All for Tennessee
