Tennessee (42-14) captured the SEC East crown, and now have their sights aimed higher as the SEC Tournament begins this week. First up for the Volunteers was the Alabama Crimson Tide, which beat South Carolina on Tuesday.
It would be Tennessee’s Will Heflin vs. Alabama’s Jacob McNairy on the mound, with each side looking to avoid the loser’s bracket on Thursday.
Slow start for Tennessee
The Alabama bats got to Heflin early, stringing together a single and a double to put the Tennessee starter in some early trouble to start the 2nd inning.
