FAYETTEVILLE — Tony Vitello will be back in Baum-Walker Stadium this weekend, but in a different spot than University of Arkansas fans were used to seeing him.
Instead of standing in the third-base coaching box when the the Razorbacks are batting, Vitello will be leading the team in the visiting dugout.
Vitello, 40, is in his second season as the head coach at No. 18 Tennessee (31-11, 9-9 SEC), which opens a three-game series against No. 7 Arkansas (31-11, 12-6) at 6:30 tonight.
It’s the first game at Baum-Walker Stadium for Vitello since he was an Arkansas assistant coach for four seasons from 2014-17, when he helped the Razorbacks make three NCAA Tournament appearances and advance to the 2015 College World Series.
