The offense put up at least one run in every inning except the eighth — with six of the frames being multi-run sides — while the pitching staff worked a combined perfect game through 6.1 IP as the Vols dismantled Bellarmine 19-1.
Vitello started Zander Sechrist, and he worked two innings, faced the minimum six batters, struck out one and tossed 17 of his 22 total pitches for strikes.
While the pitching staff was doing its thing, the bats carried the momentum from the sweep of Vanderbilt into Tuesday’s game. Also worth noting — in the B1, the first run of the game was a Griffin Merritt single that scored Jared Dickey and came with two outs.
