At Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio, Washington defeated Cincinnati 7-6 in a close game. The highlight of the match was the Major League Baseball debut of former Vol Trey Lipscomb, who started at third base for the Nationals. Lipscomb went 1-for-4 with a single in his first at-bat.
The opportunity for Lipscomb to play in the MLB came after former Vol Nick Senzel was placed on the injured list due to a fractured right thumb. Lipscomb, who played at Tennessee from 2019-2022, appeared in 103 games during his college career, with 78 starts. His selection by Washington in the third round of the 2022 MLB draft was a major milestone in his career.
Lipscomb’s journey from college baseball to the MLB was a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport. Fans and supporters of the Vols were excited to see one of their own representing Tennessee on the national stage. Photos of Trey Lipscomb throughout the years show his progression and growth as a player. It was a memorable day for Lipscomb and a proud moment for the Vol community.
