Christian Moore homered in the sixth inning Saturday, then homered again in the seventh against LSU to tie the Tennessee baseball record for career home runs with 42.

Moore entered the game with 40, trailing Blake Burke by one. Burke homered in the third to reach 42 in his career.

Moore, a junior like Burke, followed with a pair in back-to-back innings to match the record. His second homer — a three-run blast — put Tennessee ahead 6-2.

Who are the top home run hitters in Tennessee baseball history?

Luc Lipcius set the record of 40 in the first inning of his final game in 2022 during the Knoxville Super Regional against Notre Dame. Lipcius and Evan Russell engaged in a slugfest the day prior, with both breaking the record of 38 held by Todd Helton.

Lipcius hit his 38th in the fifth inning. Russell homered later that inning to set a record with 39. Lipcius matched it in the same inning.

Doug Hecker hit 37 from 1990 to 1992, and Cody Hawn (2009-10) and Sonny Cortez (1996, 1998) each hit 36.
