Tullo lasts less than an inning and this one is getting ugly in a hurry.

My man Deerpark!

It was a brutal top of the first for Tennessee, giving up five runs. But the Vols answered with three in the bottom of the inning.

In the top of the third, the score remains 5-3 Western Carolina.

 

[Kingston Vol]

7-3

What the crap... We need to make a move coaching-wise.

todd raleigh is awful

Two two-run home runs and an RBI single in the top of the third put Western Carilina up 10-3.

In the bottom of the inning, Cody Hawn hit a solo shot to right.

It's 10-4 in the top of the fourth.

It's been the pitching tonight. We're not playing badly. Tullo was terrible in the first, Crnkovich continued his struggles as well.

It's tough to win mid-week games when you're getting zero from your mid-week pitchers. Catapano wasn't great, either.

Spot on DP, as always.

Tennessee loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth but Norfork flied to right to end the inning. Vols still trail by six but a lot of baseball left to play.

Tennessee is still battling. The Vols get three back in the bottom of the fifth. Two scored on a triple into the right field corner by Blake Forsythe.

10-7

Just when we have a great series win we have to blow another midweek game

Four hours of my life wasted.

Let's see what happens this weekend against Florida. A mid-week loss doesn't mean the sky is falling.

Second-tier pitchers getting shelled isn't indicative of where we stand as a program. The team hit pretty well, there were a lot of hard-hit balls that just didn't get thru.

The strikeouts looked like a case of a team pressing. They feel the pressure without Raleigh putting it on them. That tells me that they still care about their season and their coach and that they haven't quit.

Again, take a step back and see what happens with the Gators. SEC losses are the ones to concern ourselves with.
