After putting up 35 runs over their last three games, Tennessee was only able to muster three runs on seven hits in tonight’s 6-3 loss to 14-ranked Alabama. In addition to a slow offensive start, Tennessee was hampered by multiple mistakes in the field and on the base paths. I admit I’m more superstitious than most, but it’s tough not to think that there wasn’t a dark omen on this game when there wasn’t a working stream on the ESPN app for the first 15 minutes of play. Regardless, the game was still played, and eventually viewable.
The game started with Tennessee’s first two batters getting on base, including a leadoff double from Christian Moore.
