KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Ready for its first weekend series of the year at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, the No. 3 Tennessee Volunteers look to to keep the momentum going as they head into a three-game battle with Dayton, having won their last three games. The Vols (3-2) put on a show for the nearly 9,000 fans through the turnstiles in the two midweek matchups with Alabama A&M, outscoring the Bulldogs 33-1 between the games. Tennessee run-ruled AAMU both nights as Ryan Miller crushed a walk-off homer in Game 1 to reach the run-rule in the eighth inning of a 10-0 blanking. Charlie Taylor was incredible in the second game, going 4-of-5 at the plate with two home runs, a triple, five RBIs and three runs scored. The offense was firing on all cylinders throughout the 23-1, seven-inning rout in Game 2, scoring a program-record 15 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. In that frame, 20 batsmen came to the plate, and the surge was powered by four extra-base hits. Tennessee's pitching has also been stellar in the last three games, allowing just one run over the last 24 innings and reaching double-digit strikeouts in each contest.

NOTABLE
The Bats Are Heating Up
After a slow start to the season, Tennessee's offense has found its footing over the past three games, totaling 40 runs after plating just four runs over the first two games of the season. The Vols scored double-digit runs in each of their last two games, posting a pair of run-rule wins over Alabama A&M in the midweek. UT had 15 different players record at least one hit in the two wins over the Bulldogs.
In Wednesday's 23-1 victory, Tennessee set a new program record by scoring 15 runs in the fifth inning. On the young season the Vols have totaled eight home runs, seven of those have come in the last three games.

Power Arms to Start
Tennessee's highly touted weekend rotation of Chase Dollander, Chase Burns and Drew Beam will all make their 2023 home debuts over the weekend after an emphatic introduction on Rocky Top a season ago. Last weekend in Arizona, the three combined for 15.1 innings, allowing just nine total hits and striking out a combined 19 batters.

Home Field Advantage
Lindsey Nelson Stadium has become one of the toughest places to play in all of college baseball. UT sold out 29 of its 45 home games last season and set new program records for total (181,517) and average attendance (4,221).

The Dayton Flyers from what I understand is a style Pilot not anything to do with a paper used for Concert information, a Rave, or any other event.

I expect the Volunteers to win this series mostly because they’re a a stacked talented team at home playing a Flyers team that doesn’t have the offensive arsenal to outhit the Volunteers if they do stand toe to toe with a great Volunteers baseball team.

The name is a reference and homage to Daytonians Orville and Wilbur Wright who pioneered heavier than air flight. Orville and Wilbur Wright designed the Wright Flyer I and fabricated many of its components, including the propellers and engine, at their bicycle shop in Dayton.

I would add winning triple digits cash from a slot machine in a Las Vegas casino, meeting the Mexican babe Jessica Mendoza a terrific ex Softball player also for me she proved to be a friendly woman that was happy meeting Baseball fans before a College World Series game, and driving a Ferrari because Ferraris are incredible looking sports cars with curves, also Ferrari cars have incredible speed.

This quote is from the badass warrior that uses a sword Conan from the amazing fantasy adventure movie Conan the Barbarian.
Most likely 1 main inspiration for a similar style Super Hero that is He Man who uses an extraordinary sword, and he is a the protagonist hero of the Masters Of the Universe.

Go Vols! Hoping we can get games in around the rain, There will be more rain games so the practice will do us good. The highlight of my week was watching those homers flying into the new outfield entertainments decks. I’m gonna try to get to some games this year for sure!
