Zander Sechrist started and tossed three innings of 0 H, 0 R ball, and Blake Burke hit the Vols only home run in Tuesday’s 10-2 win against Xavier.
Tennessee used seven pitches to get through the game, with Sechrist’s start setting the tone for the rest of the contest. Freshman Dylan Loy and RS-FR Brady Robertson were the only two UT pitchers to concede runs, both in the fourth and fifth innings after Sechrist left the game.
Vitello subbed out Robertson for Kirby Connell in the fifth, and Connell proceeded to pitch 2.1 innings and gave up one hit, no runs, no walks while striking out two of the eight hitters he faced.
