Top-ranked Tennessee wrapped up its appearance at the Astros Foundation College Classic on Sunday by facing an Arizona team that knocked off No. 2 Texas A&M on Friday and No. 16 Mississippi State on Saturday.

There would be no sweep of the Southeastern Conference representation for the Wildcats.

Andrew Fischer, Levi Clark and Cannon Peebles each homered, and Tennessee relievers produced a suffocating final seven innings as the Volunteers downed Arizona 5-1 to complete their three-game run at Houston's Daikin Park, known formerly as Minute Maid Park. Tennessee defeated No. 25 Oklahoma State , Rice and the Wildcats by the combined score of 23-6.

"We got challenged and saw some good arms and some good competitive teams," Fischer said in a news conference Sunday after the Vols improved to 11-0, "but after seeing what our guys bring to the table in these big games in huge environments like this, I think there is a lot of upside coming for us."

Said relief pitcher Nate Snead of the Big 12's Wildcats: "That was an SEC-caliber team right there, so it was good to see some competition like that."

The Vols hit 10 home runs in Houston and have 31 for the season, and their team earned run average is 1.82 after posting a 1.67 ERA for the weekend.

Freshman pitcher Tegan Kuhns got his first start for Tennessee and retired the first five batters he faced before allowing a two-out double to Adonys Guzman and an RBI triple to Easton Breyfogle that put the Wildcats (7-4) up 1-0 in the second inning. The Vols erased that deficit with consecutive homers by Fischer and designated hitter Clark in the fourth, with Clark adding to his stellar freshman year that contains a .462 batting average, five home runs and 17 RBIs.

"He's special, and to be honest with you, there are still a lot of stones unturned for that kid," Fischer said. "Everyone sees what's going on out here, and he's putting on a show, but I still think he has way more in the tank that people haven't seen yet."

Tennessee maintained that 2-1 edge until Peebles connected in the seventh inning for a two-run homer to right field. The Vols made it 5-1 in the ninth on an RBI single to right by second baseman Gavin Kilen, who went 9-for-15 with seven RBIs during the weekend .

Brandon Arvidson replaced Kuhns after two innings, with Snead, Dylan Loy and Ryan Combs finishing out the game. Snead picked up the save in Friday's victory over Oklahoma State and nearly worked four full innings Sunday.

"He's a valuable Swiss Army knife for us," Tennessee coach Tony Vitello said of Snead, "and a lot of that starts with him being willing to go into each week not knowing what he's going to do."

Tennessee has a pair of midweek games, hosting Radford on Tuesday and Xavier on Wednesday, with each scheduled to start at 6 p.m.

"You're always looking to find out as much about your team before conference play rolls around," Vitello said. "We did that based off the competition we had to face here and the circumstances we were in and certainly the setting of playing in this big-league ballpark."
