Tennessee baseball started its home schedule off with a win on Tuesday as the Vols out-dueled the UNC Asheville Bulldogs 3-2.
UNC Asheville actually took an early 1-0 lead after scoring a run off freshman starter Derek Schaefer. The Phoenix, Arizona native got a little work this weekend, pitching a third of an inning and giving up 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB with one strikeout.
He fared better against UNC Asheville, though it being a midweek game, Vitello didn’t leave him out long so he could get a look at some of the other arms on the roster.
