Tennessee baseball coach likely facing suspension after bumping umpire

Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello is likely in some hot water after bumping an official during tonight’s game against Alabama.

Volunteers pitching coach Frank Anderson was ejected after disputing a call. Vitello was then tossed after that.

After Vitello was ejected, he bumped the third base umpire:
