Vols go 2-1 in Shiners Children’s Classic

Tennessee dropped Friday’s game against Texas — the No. 1 team in the country — but followed that with two consecutive wins against Baylor and Oklahoma.

I figure the easiest way to do this is take you through each game separately, so we’ll start with the 7-2 loss to Texas.

Chase Burns was just fantastic. His fastball was fine — mid-to-high 90s with not a ton of movement — but it was his slider, or what the announcers were calling his cutter, that was really giving the Texas batters fits.

As Pitching Ninja noted, Burns went five innings and struck out ten Texas batters.
