Tennessee baseball seeks first title

Nate Rau

For the third time in four seasons, Tennessee baseball is on the precipice of a national title.

The intrigue: Tennessee coach Tony Vitello has supercharged the program to be one of the best in the country.

The only unrealized accomplishment is a national title.

Flashback: This is the seventh time Tennessee has reached the World Series. Its best performance was a runner-up finish in 1951.

For as great as Vitello's squad has been in recent years, Charles Schwab Field has been a house of horrors. The Volunteers won just one game in last season's World Series and zero games in 2021.

What's next: The Volunteers begin play in the double-elimination tournament Friday at 6pm CT against Florida State. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
