Saturday’s game was a bit light on runs, but the Vols got the 3-0 win thanks in large part to stellar performances on the mound from starter Blade Tidwell and reliever Camden Sewell.
Tennessee’s typical Saturday starter, Chase Dollander, missed the game as he’s still recovering from that ricochet he took last weekend against Alabama. Tidwell got the weekend start in Dollander’s stead and looked every bit the All-American status he earned as the Vols’ Sunday starter last year.
The sophomore cruised through 4.2 innings of work and allowed just two hits through the 17 batters he faced.
