We’re doing this with Tennessee kids

[NighthawkVol]

Love seeing not only this team’s success, but also that it’s happening with Tennessee natives. Last night’s heroes were 3 middle Tennessee kids: Drew Beam from Murfreesboro, Chase Burns from Gallatin, and Zane Denton from Brentwood. A decade ago, at least one, maybe all of those kids are at Vanderbilt.

Ensley from West Tennessee has come up big in the postseason too, and of course, Lindsey, another Middle Tennessee kid, has been the ace.

Cal Stark from Knoxville hasn’t hit well, but he’s finally given us a presence behind the plate who can control opponents’ running game. And Omaha is the kind of place where guys who haven’t been stars all year suddenly start hitting or pitching lights out. Maybe, just maybe, for Stark…

Also, who didn’t think Beam would do this? I said Sunday, if we can win G2 and get it to G3, Beam will nut up and get us to Omaha. Kid just has that clutch gene.

Hot take: if Beam starts G3 against ND last year, Tennessee goes to the CWS and avoids the upset.

The Vols are rounding into form at the exact right time. Similar to Ole Miss last year, except I think Tennessee is coming into the CWS with the best pitching staff in the country.

We are definitely peaking at the right time.

I also really like seeing all the Tennessee kids on the roster. Especially at the expense of Vandy. Sounds like we have a few more in the pipeline coming next season.

Who is this "Vandy" that you speak of?

Never heard of her.

Love that Arky and Candy will be watching from the house.

Middle Tennessee has been solid for a long time when it comes to baseball talent

Yeah, no Blade Tidwell; a middle Tennessean too. My Mom is friends with his Grandmother; they are in the same sunday school class; she told my Mom that they were all Bammers until Blade signed with the Vols. They had to change their allegiance! On a side note; I met her at my Aunt's wake about nine months ago. She said that Blade's little brother is a pretty good player too, but I think he still has about three more years of HS left.
