OMAHA, Neb. -- Tennessee coach Rod Delmonico might want to rethink his game plan after the Volunteers scored 32 runs in two College World Series games.

	Tennessee's Chris Burke, right, celebrates his eighth-inning homer with teammates.

"Well, coming into the tournament I stressed to our guys that we needed to have pitching and defense and timely hitting, so I don't know how to explain this," Delmonico said Monday after Tennessee outslugged and outlasted Georgia 19-12 in a CWS elimination game.

Chris Burke hit a go-ahead inside-the-park home run in the eighth inning, Kris Bennett drove in a series record-tying seven runs with a series-record six hits, including a home run, and Javi Herrera homered and had four RBI in Tennessee's 21-hit attack.

"I really didn't realize it, but everyone was coming up and congratulating me after the last one," Bennett said of his record-breaking hit. "Days like today, you're seeing it very well, picking up the spin and it seems like it's right where you want it every time."

Brian Gates (6-4) allowed one unearned run and two hits in four innings of relief to pick up the win for the Vols (47-19), who scored 13 runs in a loss to Miami on Saturday.

David Coffey had three hits, including a grand slam, and four RBI for Georgia (47-22), which had beaten its Southeastern Conference rivals in three regular-season meetings.

"I'm disappointed we lost, but I'm certainly not disappointed in our ballclub," Georgia coach Ron Polk said. "We battled. We didn't make a couple of plays in the field and they took advantage."

Burke's home run, his 20th of the season, sparked a five-run inning for the Vols, who advanced to Tuesday night's elimination game against Southern California, which lost to Miami 4-3 Monday night.

"I'd like a shutout tomorrow, to be honest with you," Delmonico said. "But we're really swinging the bat well, and we need it right now."

With the game tied at 11, Burke led off the eighth with a long shot to center field off Jeffery Carswell (10-2). Kris Edge backpedalled and appeared to be under the ball, but it went over his glove and rolled away from him as he crashed into the wall.

Bulldogs first baseman Mark Thornhill said the sun undoubtedly played a factor.

"It got worse as the game went on," Thornhill said. "Towards the end of the game, especially the last three or four innings, you'd look up and you're looking directly into the sun."

Burke had the first College World Series inside-the-park homer since Oklahoma's Chip Glass in 1994 after easily beating the throw home from right fielder Adam Swann.

"When I hit it, I was pretty mad, to tell you the truth," Burke said. "I got a good pitch to hit, and I thought I missed it. Then I remembered where I was playing and thought maybe it could be a home run. So, I wasn't really running as hard as I could have, but once it fell over his head I thought I really had a good chance to score."

Carswell then got two outs, but Jeff Christensen singled, Bennett hit an RBI double, Justin Parker an RBI single and Herrera a two-run homer to make it 16-11. Carswell allowed five runs and five hits in one inning.

The Bulldogs got a run in the eighth when Edge scored on a wild pitch by Gates. Stevie Daniel added an RBI single, Brandon Hopkins an RBI triple and Bennett an RBI single in the ninth to make it 19-12.

With Tennessee trailing 11-9, the Vols tied it with two runs in the seventh on RBI groundouts by Parker and Herrera.

The Vols took a 4-0 lead in the first on an RBI double by Christensen, consecutive RBI singles by Bennett and Parker, and a sacrifice fly by Herrera.

Tennessee added two more in the third on Bennett's homer off Georgia starter Brandon Moorhead, who allowed eight runs -- six earned -- and eight hits in four innings.

But the Bulldogs fought back with five runs in the third. Jeff Keppinger hit a two-run homer, his ninth in 10 NCAA tournament games. Thornhill hit a two-run single and Tony Burchett added a sacrifice fly to make it 6-5.

Georgia's Doc Brooks hit his 45th career homer, tying a school record, in the fourth, a two-run shot off Patrick Hicklen to give the Bulldogs a 7-5 lead.

Tennessee reclaimed the lead with three runs on four consecutive hits in the fifth to take a 9-7 lead. But the Bulldogs went ahead 11-9 on Coffey's first career grand slam in the fifth off Hicklen.

"It's always tough to lose the last game of the year," Coffey said "At the time I hit it, I was pumped up and feeling great. But we just got beat by a great Tennessee ballclub."

Hicklen, who left after the fifth, tied Ben McDonald's record for most earned runs allowed in a game with 11. He gave up 12 hits, struck out two and walked three.
