KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – No. 4/4 Tennessee and its scorching-hot bats return home to begin a stretch of five-straight games at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on Tuesday night when it hosts Alabama A&M at 6 p.m. The Vols are coming off a series win at Auburn in which they blasted 14 home runs, setting a program record for the most in an SEC weekend series.
Fans can also listen to John Wilkerson and Vince Ferrara call the action on the Vol Network (FM 99.1/AM 990). A free audio stream will also be available on UTSports.com, the Tennessee Athletics App and the Varsity App.
in Knoxville: 4-0
in Huntsville: 0-0
at Neutral Sites: 0-0
Last Meeting: W, 23-1 in 7 Inn. (Feb. 22, 2023 in Knoxville)
In two meetings last season, UT posted a pair of run-rule victories and outscored Alabama A&M, 33-1.
Tennessee has been nearly automatic in midweek games under head coach Tony Vitello, posting a 72-10 record during his tenure, including a 62-6 record since the start of the 2019 season. The Vols are a perfect 8-0 in midweek contests this season with four of those wins coming by 10 or more runs.
Burke Breaks Home Run Record, But Chase is Still On
Junior slugger Blake Burke broke Luc Lipcius' career home run record with a solo blast in Saturday's win at Auburn, giving him 41 for his career. However, the race to be the Vols' all-time home run leader by season's end is still very much on as Chrisitan Moore sits just one long ball behind Burke after hitting three in last weekend's series, giving him a team-leading 13 on the season and 40 for his career.
Grand Slams Galore
The Big Orange blasted two more grand slams last weekend to increase their season total to nine through just 32 games, which is a new single-season program record, surpassing the previous mark of seven set in 1998. Eight different players have combined to hit the nine grand slams, with Cal Stark the only Vol to have two after blasting his second in Sunday's run-rule victory against Auburn.
