This baseball weekend was filled with unfamiliarity.
Instead of playing the three-game series Friday through Sunday, the series with Kentucky started on Thursday night and went through Saturday. Both teams dealt with numerous weather delays and Tennessee even busted out new, dark-mode-esque uniforms.
And the Vols lost their first series of the 2022 season.
It took 13 innings and more than five hours for Kentucky to take Thursday’s game 3-2. Then, on Friday, local lightning strikes delayed the start of game two nearly two hours and pushed off the finish until Saturday morning.
