KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kavares Tears hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning and national top seed Tennessee poured it on from there, defeating Southern Mississippi 12-3 on Sunday night to win the Knoxville Regional of the NCAA Tournament.
Tennessee (53-11) advances to the super regionals, which begin on Friday.

Cal Stark, who hit a solo home run leading off the fifth, went deep for three runs in the ninth. He finished with four RBI.
Tennessee totaled five home runs, accounting for 11 runs.
Nate Snead (9-2) pitched 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the win. He allowed three hits, struck out three and walked two.
