They answered the call in their biggest gut-check moment of the season &#8211; and then some.  No. 1 Tennessee (55-7) scored six ninth-inning runs to break through and bury the No. 3 Yellow Jackets (36-24) 9-6 on Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium to reach a super regional for the second straight season .<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Beck had the game-tying hit, mashing a fastball on a low line to center field.  Georgia Tech&#8217;s Colin Hall misplayed it, running in before the ball soared over his head and bounced to the wall to score Kyle Booker.  Trey Lipscomb was hit by a pitch two batters later to give UT the lead as it blitzed Georgia Tech in the final inning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UT will face Notre Dame (38-1), the winner of the Statesboro Regional, in the super regional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Blackberries:<\/strong>Tennessee baseball&#8217;s Jordan Beck sent one-fingered message to Georgia Tech in ninth-inning rally<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Blackberries:<\/strong>Evan Russell sets Tennessee baseball record for games played<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">Blackberries:<\/strong>Tennessee Vols baseball vs.  Georgia Tech video highlights, NCAA Baseball Tournament game score<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_gl_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/06\/06\/PKNS\/05480908-0fb5-4451-98e6-41fb769e8fcb-NCAA_baseball_UT_GA_Tech_3978_SY.jpg?crop=2991,1683,x0,y112&amp;width=660&amp;height=372&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" data-gl-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2022\/06\/06\/PKNS\/05480908-0fb5-4451-98e6-41fb769e8fcb-NCAA_baseball_UT_GA_Tech_3978_SY.jpg?crop=2991,1683,x0,y112&amp;width=1320&amp;height=744&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">How the ninth inning unfolded<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Jared Dickey pinch-hit for Seth Stephenson to open the ninth inning.

The ball sailed over Hall and to the wall, scoring Booker and putting two in scoring position.  Georgia Tech intentionally walked Drew Gilbert.  Lipscomb was hit by a pitch, putting UT ahead 5-4 and the Vols poured it on the Yellow Jackets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Moore had a pinch-hit single for the second straight game, scoring a pair.  Evan Russell followed with another single, pushing UT ahead 8-4.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cortland Lawson smacked a sacrifice fly for the final run and the five-run margin.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Will Mabrey was a star<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">For the second straight game, Tennessee got a valiant relief effort from a lefty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Will Mabrey starred Sunday after Kirby Connell was fantastic Saturday against Campbell.  Mabrey came in during the fourth inning with one out.  He retired two straight and kept pitching well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He threw 3\u2154 innings, striking out five and scattering five hits. <\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Mabrey pitched out of a critical seventh-inning moment with runners on second and third with one out.
