Tennessee survived the Knoxville Regional on Monday night, taking care of Wake Forest in their second attempt. The Volunteers exploded for seven runs in the fourth inning, powered by home runs from Manny Marin and Andrew Fischer. The Volunteers would never look back, calling on ace Liam Doyle to shut things down in the final innings.
Tony Vitello’s group moves on to the Super Regional round for the fifth straight season. Standing in their way? Vitello’s old boss Dave Van Horn and the Arkansas Razorbacks. Vitello was an assistant at Arkansas from 2014-2017.
Arkansas beat Tennessee just a couple of weeks ago, taking games two and three from the Volunteers after dropping the first.
