The Tennessee Volunteers (45-16, 20-10) knew that Friday night’s matchup with the Wright State Raiders (35-11, 28-4) in the opening round of the 2021 NCAA Baseball Tournament would be anything but easy after last year’s three-game series.
And as it turned out, it was certainly anything but easy, but boy it was fun.
Both teams battled back and forth through the first six-and-a-half innings of the game
Chad Dallas took the mound for the Vols and everything went according to plan after Drew Gilbert tracked down a fly ball to make a great play in center field for the game’s first out.
