NOTING THE VOLUNTEERS Following its first mid-week loss of the season, the Tennessee baseball will return to SEC play for a threegame set against No. 3 South Carolina. The Vols will host the first ESPNU Thursday Night SEC Game of the Week, when they battle the Gamecocks at 7:30 p.m. on April 7. After three losses to No. 4 Florida last weekend, UT dropped a 10-6 decision to Presbyterian on Tuesday. Tennessee is now 19-10 overall and 2-7 in SEC play. The Big Orange will look to senior southpaw Rob Catapano (2-1, 3.18) to get it back in the win column on Thursday. It will be his third SEC start and second to open a weekend. On Friday, junior lefty Steven Gruver (3-3, 3.04) will make his team-leading eighth start. Saturday's starter is yet to be determined for Tennessee.

TODD RALEIGH
Turn up the VOLume
Fourth Season Western Carolina, 1991 Record at UT: 102-94 (.520) Career Record: 359-303 (.542) Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh is in his fourth season at Rocky Top after guiding his alma mater, Western Carolina, for eight seasons. While at UT, Raleigh has had 12 players drafted, including two in 2008 and five more in both 2009 and 2010, and two more sign free-agent contracts following the completion of their eligibility. Nine of those players were drafted in the top-20 rounds, highlighted by 2009 first-round selection Kentrail Davis. In 19 seasons as a collegiate coach, Raleigh has now produced a total of 45 MLB draft picks and 63 professional players. Under Raleigh's guidance, the Vols have steadily moved up in the NCAA RPI in each of the last three seasons, improving from 91 in 2008 to 58 in 2009 and 45 in 2010. Over the past two seasons, Raleigh’s squads have belted out 168 round-trippers (87 in 2009, 81 in 2010), good for the second-most prolific two-year period in school history. During his tenure in Cullowhee, Raleigh’s clubs won two regular-season Southern Conference championships, one Southern Conference tournament title, turned in five top-three league finishes and made a pair of NCAA Regional appearances—reaching the Regional final both times. His 2007 WCU team posted a winning record against teams in the top 35 of the RPI and earned a rare mid-major at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. The Catamounts were touted by ESPN’s Kyle Peterson as featuring an “SEC-style offense.” In his 19 seasons as a collegiate assistant or head coach, Raleigh’s teams have finished third or better in their respective league 12 times (63 percent). Raleigh and his wife, Stephanie, have four children: Caleb John “Cal” (13), Emma Grace (11), Carley Elizabeth (4) and Todd Anthony “T” (1).
““There is not another person that puts higher expectations on myself and this program than I do,” UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh said. “There is no doubt in my mind that we have this program headed in the right direction, especially this season. Everyone is on the same page in terms of coming to work every single day with the mindset of getting better. In the long run, that is really the only thing we can control.” — Head Coach Todd Raleigh
“Since I got here in the fall of 2007, we have improved every aspect of this program, from the facilities, to the Academic Progress Rate to the NCAA RPI. The last piece of the puzzle is putting it all together on the field and getting to the postseason. Has it happened as fast as we would have liked? Most certainly not. I understand the expectations of our fans, and this may sound odd, but I like the fact that some of them aren’t too happy right now. I love that they expect greatness, just like I do. Have there been some extenuating circumstances that have slowed us down a little? Sure, but our goal from day one has been to build a program, not a team. I have no doubt that that stuff is in the past and we are moving forward. We are going to be a national power, no question about that. I am confident that we are headed TODD RALEIGH NOTES in the right direction and cannot wait to get this u The Vols have steadily moved up in the NCAA RPI in each of the last three seasons, improving from 91 in season started.” — Head Coach Todd Raleigh 2008 to 58 in 2009 and 45 in 2010. “Ash brings a lot of energy and great ideas to our staff, especially with his insight on base running. It is going to be a critical year in that area because of all of the bat changes and he u The Vols have been one of the best defensive teams in the nation the past two seasons, posting fielding has done a tremendous job revamping our percentages of .972 and .974 in 2009 and 2010, respectively. efforts on that part of the game. We stole a lot of bases last year, but I think we are going to u Raleigh led an offensive juggernaut in 2007 that ranked fifth nationally in runs per game (8.4), sixth step it up another level this season and put a lot nationally in home runs per game (1.4), scoring (8.4) and slugging percentage (.517), seventh in doubles per of pressure on opposing teams.” — Head Coach Todd Raleigh game (2.39) and 11th in batting avg. (.323). u Over the past two seasons, Raleigh’s squads have belted out 168 round-trippers (87 in 2009, 81 in 2010), good for the second-most prolific two-year period in school history.
u Under Raleigh’s guidance in 2009, Cody Hawn became just the 10th player in UT history to claim the team Triple Crown with a .364 batting average, 22 home runs and 81 RBIs.

“We have been working on a lot of small ball stuff. We don't have as many power guys, so we have to get back to the basics. A lot of bunting, base running and just small ball stuff. It's not a traditional team like we have had in the past but we are getting use to it. Top to bottom, it's just a group of scrappy guys. We are going to score runs in many different ways and put pressure on the other team to make mistakes." — Senior First Baseman Josh Liles “Our attitude is one of high intensity. That is one thing that we have focused on in our practices and scrimmages this fall and leading up to the spring. The chemisty on this team is definitely improved over what it has been in the last couple of years. We have a close-knit group and a group of seniors to lead us. We've set the bar high from the very beginning. The SEC Tournament is a bare minimum." — Junior Catcher/Closer Matt Ramsey

NOTEWORTHY TEAM QUICK HITS uTennessee will host the first ESPNU Thursday Night SEC Game of the Week when South Carolina makes the trek to Rocky Top this week. uThe Vols have six home runs on the first pitch of an at-bat this season. uSeven different UT pitchers have combined to record a total of 10 saves this year, after the entire team had just four in 2010. uTennessee pinch hitters are 8-for-25 (.320). uThe Vols are hitting .313 (100-for-319) with RISP and .315 (101-for-321) with two outs as a team. uUT has 66 two-out RBIs on the year, while holding its opponents to just 44. uTennessee has struck out just 141 times this season, the fewest of any team in the SEC. uUT's five-game run without an error from 3/254/1 was its longest since posting five straight errorless contests from 5/9-5/16 in the 1993 campaign. uThe Big Orange ranks fifth in the nation with 64 stolen bases in 79 attempts. uThe contest with Austin Peay on March 16 marked the Orange and White's first road game of the year, as Tennessee opened the 2011 season with 16 straight home games. That is the longest homestand for the Vols since they played 22 consecutive games in Knoxville to open the 1963 campaign.
DUFFY HITS FOR THE CYCLE
INDIVIDUAL QUICK HITS uSenior Josh Liles needs 20 more hits to become the 15th member of Tennessee's 200-hits club. uWith 14 stolen bases, Andrew Toles has the second-most thefts of any freshman in the nation this year, behind only Jacksonville's Taylor Ratliff who has 15. uJunior Zach Osborne ranks second in school history with 19 career sacrifice bunts. He needs just three more to tie Bryce Christensen (94-95) for the all-time lead. uWith three saves this season, junior Matt Ramsey has increased his career total to nine, placing him in a tie with Rich DeLucia (83-86) for the fifth-most in the UT annals. Todd Helton holds the school record with 23. uThe next time Ramsey takes the mound, it will mark his 56th career appearance, tying him with Brandon Crowe (00-04), Jeff Owen (83, 85-87) and Rich DeLucia (83-86) for the 10th most all-time in Tennessee history. SIX VOLS ON MLB OPENING DAY ROSTERS A total of six former Vols were on the Opening Day roster of an MLB team, not including members of two coaching staffs. Luke Hochevar became just the third UT player to ever earn the honor of being his team's Opening Day starting pitcher, doing so for this year's Kansas City Royals. The only other two Vols to do so are Tommy Bridges with the Detroit Tigers (1933, 1939 and 1943) and Tommy Smithson with the Texas Rangers (1983). In his first full season in the bigs is Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia. Chase Headley enters his fifth year with the San Diego Padres while Julio Borbon begins his third year with the Texas Rangers. A nine-year MLB veteran, R.A. Dickey is in his second year with the New York Mets, while Todd Helton is the longest-tenured former Vol as he begins his 15th season in a Colorado Rockies uniform.
Senior third baseman Matt Duffy posted one of the most memorable offensive performances in Tennessee history against New Orleans on March 9, 2011, becoming just the second UT player to ever hit for the cycle. Duffy finished the contest 4-for-6 at the plate with a career-high three runs scored and four RBIs. He had a double in the first inning, a triple in the fourth, his second home run of the season in the fifth and a single in the eighth.
THE TALENTED MR. NORFORK (FROM RIPLEY) One of the hottest hitters in the nation so far this season, UT senior second baseman Khayyan Norfork has hit safely in 24 of the first 29 games of the 2011 campaign and leads the team with 15 multiple-hit contests. The Ripley, Tenn., native ranks third in the nation with 20 stolen bases and 15th in on-base percentage at .518. His .405 batting average, .518 OBP and 45 hits all rank second in the SEC.

NORFORK NOTABLES uHas at least one hit in all but five games this season.

uIs hitting .415 (17-for-41) with two outs and has a team-high 13 two-out RBIs this season. uJunior college transfer from Jackson State Community College. uHit .261 with three home runs, 25 RBIs and 14 stolen bases in his first season as a Vol. GRUVER SETTING THE TONE ON THE MOUND Junior starting pitcher Steven Gruver has done a fantastic job setting the tone for a UT pitching staff that looks much improved over recent years. In his first three starts alone, he led the Vols to a pair of shutouts before tossing a complete game in his fourth start. So far this year, he has struck out 49 and walked just 100 in 47.1 innings of work, averaging nearly seven innings per start. He went six scoreless against Milwaukee on Opening Day before shutting down Canisius for seven frames on Feb. 26 when he posted a career-high 10 strikeouts. He has now pitched 6.0+ innings nine times in his career. In those nine games, he is 5-2 with a 2.18 ERA and 62 strikeouts to just 10 walks. GRUVER'S 2011 STATS ERA 3.94

DUFFY PICKING UP RIGHT WHERE HE LEFT OFF After a slow start in 2010, his first at Tennessee, Matt Duffy picked up the pace at the end of the year, leading the Big Orange with a .348 batting average in SEC play. The transfer from Vermont has picked up right where he left off as he is currently hitting at a blistering .373 clip (38-for-102). A native of Milton, Mass., Duffy also has the third-most RBIs of any player in the SEC with 30, holds the team lead with five home runs and ranks fourth in the league in on-base percentage (.500), fifth in slugging percentage (.618) and sixth in batting average. He also ranks second in the SEC with 10 HBPs. CATAPANO = WINNER Including his two seasons at North Carolina, Tennessee senior and Knoxville native Rob Catapano has started 16 collegiate games. The team he has started for has won 15 of those contests with the only loss coming earlier this year at No. 3 Florida on April 1. CATAPANO HAS SIGHTS SET ON MARINES Unless the option to continue his baseball career presents itself, Catapano plans on entering Officer Candidates School, a 10-week program in Quantico, Va., designed to train, evaluate and screen candidates for potential as Marine Corp officers. Graduates of OCC are commissioned immediately upon graduation as Second Lieutenants and sent to The Basic School at Quantico for six months of further training. RAMSEY ON JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST In his first season as the starting catcher at Tennessee, junior Matt Ramsey has solidified himself as one of the top catch-and-throw backstops in the country, gunning down 12 of 28 potential baserunners (42.9%). He was recently added to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List, given to the top catcher in the country. BENNETT OFF TO STRONG START After hitting 27 home runs as a senior at Farragut High School, UT freshman catcher/DH Ethan Bennett has wasted little time adjusting to the college game, 2011 Tennessee Volunteer Baseball Game Notes
as he is second on the team behind only Matt Duffy with four home runs and is hitting .305 (18-for-59) with 19 RBIs through his first 18 games at Rocky Top. After missing the first two weekends with a hamstring injury, Bennett exploded onto the scene with four home runs in three games. During that stretch, he hitting .583 (7-for-12) with 16 RBIs and six runs scored. Bennett's talent isn't limited to the baseball diamond though, as he is also an accomplished musician with the ability to play the guitar, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin and piano. VOLS OFF AND RUNNING Prior to the season, there was quite a bit of talk about Tennessee implementing a new, more aggressive baserunning philosophy. The Vols have walked-the-walk so far in 2011 as they have already recorded an SEC leading 64 stolen bases in the first 29 games of the season. By comparison, it took UT 46 games to reach that mark in 2010 and never got there in 2009 when it had just 39 thefts in 55 games. The new baserunning program was on full display on Feb. 27 against Canisius, when the Big Orange was a near-perfect 9-for-10 on the basepaths, including a pair of double steals and three thefts of third. The last time a Tennessee team had nine stolen bases in one game came against Morehead State on Feb. 8, 2003. UT had been successful in 20 straight stolen base attempts and 29 of 30 tries before having a runner thrown out on March 9. With 20 thefts, senior Khayyan Norfork is first in the league and has as many stolen bases as the entire South Carolina team. Not far behind Norfork is speedy freshman Andrew Toles who has the fourth-most stolen bases in the SEC with 14 in 17 attempts. That already bests current Texas Ranger centerfielder Julio Borbon for the fifth-most by a Tennessee freshman. SAVING THE DAY One of the most eye-popping stats for Tennessee this season has come from the back of the team's bullpen. After recording four saves over the course of the entire 2010 campaign, the Vols already have 10 saves in the first 29 games this season, with seven different pitchers doing the honors no less. Matt Ramsey has three and Zack Godley has two, while Nick Blount, T.J. Thornton, Levi Dean, Nick Williams and Drew Steckenrider each have one. With nine career saves, Ramsey is currently tied with Rich DeLucia (83-86) for the fifth most in Tennessee history.
VOLS MAKING THE GRADE Academics have been a top priority for the Vols since Todd Raleigh arrived in 2008. Proving that point, Tennessee increased its multi-year APR to 936, up from 850 in 2005. That increase represented the largest single-year jump by any team at UT as it had an APR of 898 last year. For the 2009-10 school year alone, the Vol baseball team posted a spectacular 982 APR. VOLS NOT LISTED IN NOTICE OF ALLEGATIONS The University of Tennessee received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA on Feb. 23. While an examination into potential rules violations by the University of Tennessee baseball program was referenced in the initial Letter of Inquiry from the NCAA, there were no alleged violations by the baseball program listed in this Notice. RALEIGH REACHES CENTURY MARK AT UT With a 7-3 road victory over Lipscomb on March 23, Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh collected his 100th win at Rocky Top. In his fourth season with the Vols, the UT skipper is now 102-94 (.520). Raleigh becomes just the fourth Tennessee coach to reach that mark in Knoxville, joining John Whited (145 wins/1982-87), Bill Wright (408/196381) and Rod Delmonico (699/1990-2007). NORFORK EXCELS ON OPENING DAY...AGAIN For the second straight season, Vol second baseman Khayyan Norfork opened the year with a bang. After going 4-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in his UT debut against Xavier in 2010, Norfork kicked off the 2011 campaign with a 2-for4 effort, knocking in three of the team's four runs against Milwaukee in its 4-0 victory. In his two Opening Day starts combined, Norfork is 6-for-9 (.667) with four RBIs, two stolen bases and two runs scored. OPENING DAY SOUTHPAWS With Steven Gruver earning the Opening Day start for the Vols this season, it marked the third consecutive campaign that the Vols have trotted a southpaw out to the mound to open the year. Opening Day Starters Under Head Coach Todd Raleigh 2011 Steven Gruver (Jr., LHP) W vs. Milwaukee - 6.0 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K 2010 Bryan Morgado (Jr., LHP) W vs. Xavier- 5.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K 2009 Nick Hernandez (Jr., LHP) ND vs. Oregon State - 5.0 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K 2008 Steve Crnkovich (So., RHP) W vs. Morehead State - 7.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K

Vols are from Knox County and one is from Sevier County (Seymour), while two others hail from West Tennessee and four are from Middle Tennessee. Four of the local players hail from Farragut High School, including senior Rob Catapano, junior Matt Ramsey and freshmen Ethan Bennett and Nick Williams. Bennett was named a 2010 Louisville Slugger High School All American, Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year and TBCA Class AAA Player of the Year after setting a state single-season record with 27 home runs. He also hit .420 with 73 RBIs and scored 57 runs and set the national record for home runs in consecutive games, belting 16 during a 10-game stretch in April. Williams also played a big role in leading Farragut to three straight state titles with Bennett, going 19-0 with 137 strikeouts and an 0.85 ERA during his three seasons on the varsity squad.
CIRCLE OF LIFE
TYLER HORNE | Senior Third Baseman In an effort to get a few laughs out of his teammates and fans this season, senior Tyler Horne selected Elton John's "Circle of Life" from the animated motion picture "The Lion King," as his walk-up song. It has achieved its stated goal as both players and fans alike have embraced it. When Horne strides to the dish, it is not uncommon to see people imitating the scene from the movie where Rafiki presents Simba for all of the kingdom to see. SHUTOUT STREAK OVER Prior to its 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on Opening Day (2/18), Tennessee's last shutout came on March 10, 2007, a span of three years, 11 months and eight days (209 games), when James Adkins and Ryne Simpson combined to blank Siena, 5-0, in Knoxville. It didn't take the Vols to pick up another shutout as they accomplished the feat once again just a week later against Canisius (2/25), also by a 4-0 score. UT picked up another on March 9 with a 14-0 blanking over New Orleans.
RECORD-SETTING ATTENDANCE ON OPENING WEEKEND Tennessee set a new school-record for total attendance in a home-opening series, drawing 6,111 fans (2,037/game) to the three-game set against Milwaukee, Feb. 18-20. The previous record was set in 1997 when the Vols drew 5,877 over three games against Eastern Kentucky. With 2,345 on hand on the first day of the 2011 season, UT had its secondhighest attendance for a home-opening contest, behind only the 2.753 that saw the Vols take on Louisville on Feb. 25, 1995.

rocky top bloodlines Freshman centerfielder Andrew Toles was born to bleed orange. A fourth-round selection by the Florida Marlins last June, Toles decded to put his professional career on hold in order to attend the same school where his father and uncle both excelled on the gridiron. His father, Alvin, was a hard-hitting linebacker at Tennessee (1981-84) before being drafted in the first round of the 1985 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. His uncle, Johnnie Jones, also is the fourth-leading rusher in Tennessee history (82-84) and spent time with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL. His mother, Vicky, meanwhile, played basketball at the University of New Orleans, and his sister, Morgan plays basketball at Auburn.

new faces in the crowd The Volunteers return 17 players, including seven starters, from last year's squad which finished with a record of 30-26. Joining them is a talented group of 14 newcomers, headlined by freshman Andrew Toles, a fourth-round pick by the Florida Marlins in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft, and last year's Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year, Ethan Bennett from Farragut High School. All 14 newcomers have already made their way into a game this season.
The COLOR orange On Sunday, Feb. 20, ESPN aired a feature-length documentary on former two-sport Tennessee star Condredge Holloway, entitled "The Color Orange." The documentary, produced and directed by country music star Kenny Chesney, detailed Holloway's collegiate career as the first black quarterback in the SEC. In addition to his exploits on the gridiron, Holloway also served as the starting shortstop at UT, garnering first-team All-America recognition in 1975 after hitting .396 with 20 RBIs and two home runs. Baseball Participates in Light the Night Walk, Raises More than $5,000 for Cancer Research For the fourth straight year, the University of Tennessee baseball team participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk Thursday evening at Circle Park on the UT campus. Since becoming involved with the event in 2007, the Volunteers have now helped to raise nearly $30,000, including over $5,000 this year, in support of research into the treatment and prevention of cancer. live blog with the vols Fans looking for a way to get closer to the team and interact more during games need look no further than UTSports.com this season.
