Weather Forecast

VOLS HOST IN-STATE RIVAL VANDY ¢ The 25th-ranked Vols welcome in-state rival Vanderbilt for a three-game SEC series from April 4-6, continuing UT’s stretch of five-consecutive games against teams from The Volunteer State. ¢ After the best start to a season in 105 years of program history, the Vols have struggled recently, dropping four in a row and six of their last seven. ¢ UT won its opening 12 games of the season. ¢ UT out-hit ETSU by a 6-3 margin on Tuesday, but was beat 2-1 off a game-winning two-run homer by National Player of the Week Clinton Freeman. ¢ Last weekend, UT was swept for the first time this season at No. 2 South Carolina. ¢ UT, which never trailed until the final hit of the opening two games, lost on a pair of walk-off home runs against SC. The Vols then suffered their first shutout of the season on Sunday. ¢ SC won the rain-delayed opener 3-2 in 14 innings, scored six runs with two outs in the ninth to take game two, 9-6, and earned the sweep with an 8-0 win. ¢ Tennessee holds the all-time advantage in the series against Vanderbilt by a 168-148-2 margin, dating back to 1897. However, VU has won five games in a row and eight of the last nine meetings. ¢ UT’s last series win over Vanderbilt came in 2010, when UT took two out of three in Knoxville. Tennessee’s last win over the ‘Dores came in a 8-2 decision on May 4, 2012, also at home. ¢ UT holds a 57-29 advantage in Knoxville.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES ¢ To the right is a team comparison of key stats between Tennessee last season and the 2014 Vols over the first 27 games of the season.
