In 2005, Tennessee baseball made the College World Series as one of the youngest teams in the NCAA. But they missed out on the NCAA Tournament the next two years, and then Mike Hamilton fired Rod Delmonico.
Todd Raleigh then came in for four years, and Dave Serrano came in for six, but neither could get the Vols to the postseason. However, in Tony Vitello’s second season, it has finally come to an end. It was confirmed that Tennessee baseball punched a ticket to the 64-team NCAA Tournament on Monday.
The last time the Vols made the tournament, Tennessee football had won three of four against the Florida Gators and nine of 10 against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
