Tennessee finally found another victory Tuesday, beating Furman 4-2 at Greenville, S.C.
The victory ends a nine-game losing streak, that including a 0-3 showing against Kentucky last weekend.
Second baseman Danny Lima had two hits and drove in a run. Starting pitcher Joey Rosa (4-2) got the win with relief help from Steve Crnkovich and Danny Wiltz.
The Vols hope better times continue when they close the SEC regular season with a three game series at Columbia, S.C., this weekend.
Lima drove in the game's first run Tuesday with a single that sent home Shawn Griffin in the second inning.
The Vols (26-27) added three more in the fifth. Pitch-hitter Jarred Frazier drove in two runs when Furman third baseman Brian Harrison couldn't handle his hot grounder.
Frazier came home on Josh Liles' double.
Rosa had six strikeouts, but left in the sixth after giving up a home run to Bobby Hubbard. Crnkovich worked two scoreless innings of relief. Wiltz pitched the final two innings to collect his fourth save.
