Fresh off its first three-game sweep of LSU since 2008, Tennessee is out to its best start in Southeastern Conference play in 20 years.
The Volunteers (21-4, 5-1 SEC) were ranked No. 6 in the USA Today Baseball Coaches Poll on Monday and are a consensus top-10 team.
The team had two SEC sweeps over the first three seasons under coach Tony Vitello, against Alabama in 2018 and Kentucky in 2019. The feeling with those wasn't the same as it was this weekend after taking three games at home against one of the biggest brands in college baseball.
