No. 1/2 Tennessee Blanks Bonnies In Series Opener

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Top-ranked Tennessee shut down the Bonnies bats for a 12-0 final Friday night in the opener of a three-game weekend series.

Tennessee, ranked No. 1 in this week's Baseball America Top 25 and No. 2 in the current D1Baseball poll, moved to 14-0 with the win behind a dominant showing on the mound.

Five Volunteer pitchers combined for the ninth no-hitter in Tennessee history.

St. Bonaventure threatened in the first as Jayce Tharnish worked a walk and then moved to 14-for-14 this season in stolen base attempts as he swiped second. Tharnish went to third on a groundout, but a strikeout ended the inning.

From there, Vols ace lefty Liam Doyle was completely locked in.

Named a potential first overall pick in this year's MLB Draft according to The Athletic's Keith Law, Doyle was nearly untouchable as he struck out 13 batters across 5.2 innings with just two walks coming as the only blemishes on his stat line while he lowered his season ERA to 0.44.

Bona starter James Capellupo tossed a scoreless first, but the Vols got on the board as Cannon Peebles golfed a three-run homer to right center in the second and another round-tripper off the bat of Dalton Bargo made it 5-0 later in the frame.

After a quiet third, the Vols added a run in each the fourth and fifth innings before breaking the game open through a five-run sixth.

One of Bona's best chances to break up the no-hit bid came early as Morgan Little drove a deep fly ball to right field, but it was tracked down on the run in front of the fence by right fielder Reese Chapman.

In the ninth, David Marshall Jr. drilled a ball off reliever Michael Sharman's ankle that bounded directly to the second baseman for a 1-4-3 putout.

Chance Moore struck out three in two innings of relief, followed by Cam Demos who worked a 1-2-3 eighth.

Tharnish was on base twice via free passes.

The Bonnies (7-5) and Vols get back together Saturday evening at 6 p.m.
