Tennessee is in the Super Regionals for a fifth straight year, the longest such streak in college baseball, and is looking for its third straight trip to the College World Series and fourth over the last five seasons.
“What’s not a positive is we were one short on the scoreboard to keep that thing rolling, so maybe a little extra motivation (Sunday),” Tennessee coach Tony Vitello said after the loss. “But obviously the difference, I think a lot of guys were really good out on that field, because there’s a lot of talent, but the difference was Root.”
Tennessee went three games in last two Super Regional appearances
The Vols went three games with Evansville in the Knoxville Super Regional last season, after losing Game 2.
Tennessee was also down 0-1 in the three-game series in the Hattiesburg Super Regional at Southern Miss in 2023. The Vols won 8-4 in Game 2, then punched their ticket to Omaha with a 5-0 win in Game 3.
The Vols swept LSU in two games in the Knoxville Super Regional in 2021, returning to the College World Series for the first time since 2005.
