Following a tough draw against Paul Skenes and LSU in the first round, Tennessee was faced with elimination on Monday in Omaha. Pac-12 regular season champ Stanford was standing in their way, and the Volunteers dug themselves an early hole.
Tennessee wasted an early chance to hit the scoreboard in the top of the first, failing to get a run home on a sacrifice fly. Maui Ahuna was thrown out at home, as Griffin Merritt’s fly ball fizzled in the wind. The play wasn’t particularly close, and we stayed a 0-0.
Chase Dollander found trouble in the bottom of the first.
