The Daily Beacon is printed using soy based ink on newsprint containing recycled content, utilizing renewable sources and produced in a sustainable, environmentally responsible manner.

As always, the Campus Events Board will conclude this year’s list of events with free music festival for students Volapalooza.

Volapalooza will take place in the courtyard of the Student Union, starting at 6 p.m. on UT’s last day of classes for the school year, April 26.

Students must enter through Pedestrian Walkway Bridge.

Upon entrance, students will not be allowed to bring in a bag larger than 4.5 x 6.5 inches. Water bottles and outside beverages will not be allowed in; free water bottles will be provided inside the music festival.

In contrast to years past, no form of tickets will be needed to get into the event; all students will just need to do is swipe in with their Volcard. “(CEB wants) Volapalooza to be open to as many students as possible, whether they are opted-in or out,” Emily Hicks, junior in hotel, restaurant and tourism and Operations Chair of Volapalooza, said. “Taking place in the heart of campus at the Student Union Courtyard, we can’t imagine a better way to celebrate the end of classes and don’t want any restrictions holding people back.”

As operations chair, Hicks oversees almost every aspect of the event, including accepting artist proposals and creating the site layout, and, with the help of her fellow CEB members, makes sure that the festival “runs smoothly.”

“I like to say that the planning starts the day after the previous Volapalooza ends. We want to look at what went well and what didn’t go so great and start making adaptations for the next year,” Hicks said.

This year’s headliner is pop artist Andy Grammer. Mostly known for his hits “Honey, I’m Good” and “Fresh Eyes,” Grammer will be stopping briefly to perform at Volapalooza before heading out to perform in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

British alternative artist Bishop Briggs and “The Rap Girl” aka Daisha McBride will also be performing that night to give the night a diverse set of genres.

“I’d say that all of our artists offer something different to the festival,” Hicks said. “Andy is a popular Top 40 artist in the pop realm which isn’t a direction we have gone in in the past.

Bishop Briggs is an alternative artist that is playing other huge festivals this year like Hangout, Woodstock and Bonnaroo.

“Daisha McBride is a hip-hop/R&B artist who is actually from Knoxville. She went viral on Twitter several years ago and we are stoked to have her out this year.”

As per tradition, Volapalooza will also feature different vendors and sponsors. Vagabondary, a mobile pop-up shop via a 1978 Volkswagen Transporter bus owned by artist Maranda Vandergriff, will offer wearable art such as stickers, t-shirts and tote bags. Different jewelry vendors will also be present; Strings for Hope will be selling pieces made from musical instruments for its workers, who are survivors of transitional

housing.

The maker of Make Cents Jewelry tells stories of expression and psychology through different pieces, while Ella Amada Designs hopes to share the idea of beauty and love through jewelry pieces being artisanally made in Mexico.

CEB is also bringing R. Clift Poetry to the event, where attendees can get “on-demand” poetry simply by offering a topic. The poet will write the poem on the spot on a vintage typewriter in order to spread her love for stories and memorable moments.

Sponsors including Bojangles, Jimmy John’s, Diet Coke and The Social will be at the event, and dining options will be available in the Student Union.

For Caroline Duggan, senior in public relations and marketing chair of Volapalooza, promoting the event has included overseeing the process of approving graphics, managing social media, facilitating tabling, reaching out to news sources and working with Partnership Chair Carly Henderson to facilitate partnerships with local businesses and campus groups for on-site activations and donations for giveaways.

“From keeping up partnerships, posting post-festival pictures and keeping the hype of Volapalooza going, there is work to be done all year,” Duggan said. “We have a great team behind us with Volapalooza Auxiliary members as well as VOLAnteers.”

Tabling for Volapalooza will take place on Pedestrian Walkway every day next week from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. with tablers giving away free Volapalooza 2019 t-shirts.

Notre Dame fire leaves its mark on campus COLEMAN NUMBERS Senior Staff Writer

Although the fire that engulfed the spire and roof of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris erupted a continent away, UT students and faculty are still feeling the emotional effects of the damage.

Margaret Andersen, professor of modern French history, reacted strongly to the footage of the spire collapsing into the roof of the cathedral.

Andersen noted, however, that this is hardly the first time that the cathedral has suffered damage.

“It’s definitely pretty damaging; with the French revolution, for instance, there was graffiti, there was pillaging… but it’s not quite the same thing as having the roof on fire. The difference is that, right now, there’s a huge willpower to restore it. In the aftermath of the revolution, you don’t get that until the 1830s or the 1840s,” Andersen said.

Andersen attributes this willpower to the deep historicity of the monument.

“Notre Dame is the center of the Paris—it’s

almost a thousand years old. It’s this testament to time… when you think about all the people who contributed to its construction, and this huge monumental artwork that doesn’t have just a single artist, but so many different people over multiple different generations who contributed to its construction,” Andersen said.

Lauren Price, a junior majoring in English, recalled her reaction to footage of the spire collapsing.

“I immediately just started tearing up…I’ve been (to Notre Dame before). I remembered how beautiful it was. It was awe-inspiring, and it’s full of so much history. To hear about that on fire—it’s kind of traumatizing,” Price said.

As a Normandy Scholar, Price is planning on embarking on a trip throughout Europe in May. Among their planned stops was the cathedral; now, they’re not sure what they will do with the time they would’ve spent at Notre Dame.

Though Price is disheartened by the damage to Notre Dame, its history brings her hope.

“They’ve rebuilt it before…it’s kind of nice to know that if they rebuild once, they can rebuild again,” Price said.

The world famous Notre Dame Cathedral caught fire on Monday, April 15, 2019.

New housing initiative, independence could lead to a brighter FUTURE ALEXANDRA DEMARCO Staff Writer

In Tennessee, 83% of adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities are unemployed — a high and upsetting statistic. However, the FUTURE program here at UT has already begun to change for the better.

The FUTURE program, which began in 2011, allows adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be admitted to UT and take classes on campus in order to graduate with a vocational certificate. The program has made significant changes to UT and the Knoxville area; a student with this type of disability had never been admitted to the university until this program was implemented.

Additionally, 90% of FUTURE graduates are working full-time, which is especially impressive when considering the radically different statewide unemployment rate. Brian Wilhoit, who works at UT with FUTURE, discussed the value and importance that the program carries.

“Seeing (the students’) progress and seeing them be able to walk the stage at the end of the program with the cap and gown and the excitement that they and their families have, it’s pretty cool,” Willhoit said.

In addition to providing education for dis-

abled students, FUTURE also works with partners in the area to provide internships and career opportunities for students. The goal of the program is to ensure that intellectually and developmentally disabled adults are able to be independent and also contribute to the economy of our society.

“All students can be successful in this great, diverse world of ours,” one of FUTURE’s founders David Cihak said.

Next school year, FUTURE will begin a pilot program that will allow FUTURE students to live in residential campus housing for the first time ever. The opportunity will be available to about 25% of FUTURE students.

Cihak explained that FUTURE aims to help disabled adults make the transition from high school to adulthood and independence, and housing at the university seems to be an important next step for the program to implement.

“Through our program, students have gained critical skills, career skills and independent skills, and housing just adds that other kind of campus-based experience to develop those skills in order to be an independent adult,” Cihak said. “I often think of, ‘Why does any person come to college?’ I think of career and independence and those are the two main areas that we really focus on in FUTURE, and

Members of the FUTURE program pose for a group photo. Courtesy of Meredith Abercrombie housing allows to set a situation up to foster even greater independence.”

Cihak explained that there are many aspects of the college experience and the process of growing into adulthood that exist due to oncampus housing. For example, living on campus will allow FUTURE students to gain even more valuable life skills, such as finding their way around a larger area of campus, figuring out where to get their next meal, managing their time efficiently and more.

These aspects of adulthood involve knowledge that can’t easily be conveyed in a simple

classroom setting, and the new housing initiative for FUTURE would address that, Wilhoit explained.

“We’re working with our students on developing certain skills but some things are limited,” Wilhoit said. “Things that other college students take for granted, like using the washer and dryer, doing laundry, using the microwave, those sorts of things, so we’re trying to build in other opportunities for the future students to learn those skills that other college students take for granted and try to help them become more independent.”

Knoxville Opera takes on new performers, celebrates art BEN WINIGER Staff Writer

With over 40 years under its belt, Knoxville Opera is keeping the rich tradition of opera alive and well right here in East Tennessee.

Brian Salesky, the company’s Executive and Artistic Director, described the process of the troupe’s founding.

“There were people in Knoxville who felt it was the right time to start a regional opera company in Knoxville,” Salesky said. “Certain people with great passion and commitment to the project got together (and) acquired some funding.”

The company was originally founded in 1978 by Edward Zambara, the chair of UT’s vocal performance department.

It all began with a performance of “La Traviata” starring Mary Costa, a singer famous for voicing Princess Aurora in “Sleeping Beauty.”

Over 130 productions later, the ensemble

continues to expand its repertoire and take on new performers, crew members and audiences.

Though based in Knoxville, the organization’s reach spreads far beyond the city. Most of their soloists come from outside Knoxville, with some coming from as far as New York City or even Canada.

One such soloist is Catherine Daniel, a Canadian singer who’s taken part in three of the group’s productions.

Daniel started with Knoxville Opera during a 2017 production of “Maria Stuarda” and still travels from her Canadian home to take part in their latest endeavors.

“Travel is part of the deal. I love coming down to Knoxville. It is always super kind,’ Daniel said. “Knoxville Opera is a community. It’s an opera group (that’s) passionate about the art form and values the impact that opera can make on the viewer’s experience it’s family now.”

Daniel will play the role of Santuzza in the troupe’s upcoming production of “Cavalleria Rusticana.”

Opera productions are not easy to put together. There are funds to acquire, sets to build, costumes to create and rehearsals to schedule - all before the curtain rises.

To combat this, Knoxville Opera is always on the lookout for new talent to fill their numerous productions and outreach events.

Local artists receive special attention, with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra providing each production’s music and local singers serving as the group’s chorus line.

The art form is also kept alive through the training of younger generations. The group gives younger artists a head start by auditioning singers from UT’s graduate opera program.

“You can appreciate that you don’t produce opera with a month’s notice. You’re working on it for years in advance,” Salesky said. “UT students have an opportunity to be in our chorus for at least two of our three productions - and virtually every season, UT grad students have the opportunity to do certain smaller roles.”

Graduate students are also given a chance

to perform during Knoxville Opera’s many community outreach events, such as introductory singing classes at Knoxville schools and gospel choir performances at local churches.

“We are present in lots of places, (but) it’s not always the exact same recipe every single year,” Salesky said. “We go to the cancer support community every year. We will be in churches. We will sometimes be in synagogues. We’ll be at rotary clubs and other civic organizations.”

However, the crowning jewel of Knoxville Opera’s outreach events is the annual Rossini Festival, a massive event that will overtake downtown Knoxville this Saturday. “(The festival) is a truly unique opportunity for everybody to come and receive—in one humongous dose—a variety of performing arts that you cannot experience somewhere else,’ Salesky said.

After a long and prestigious history, Knoxville Opera continues to be a valuable part of the Knoxville artistic scene and art outreach community.

Breast Connect: A Knoxville non-profit ‘for survivors, by survivors’ ALY DEMARCO Staff Writer

When Knoxville resident Nina Howell was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, she realized that there was a need for support surrounding the disease, so she created the community that ultimately bloomed into the non-profit organization, Breast Connect.

Although usually treatable, breast cancer is an extremely common and prevalent disease.

The cancer afflicts those of all ages - typically women - and impacts their lives in many difficult ways.

Breast Connect began in 2014 with just 14 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had gathered together to share their stories and advice. The group began to grow and eventually shifted into the multi-faceted organization that it is today. Breast Connect runs out of a website and Facebook group and is not only a comforting community but also a reservoir of resources.

Howell, along with her partner Allen Pannell, runs the non-profit and helps facilitate a variety of support outlets for women who are battling cancer. The organization provides resources related to doctors, finances and more.

One particular company the group likes to inform women about is Great Clips, a chain of hair salons that shave cancer patients’ heads for free.

Howell explained that shaving one’s head is often a very important step in a battle against

cancer.

“When your hair’s falling out from chemo, it’s really, really traumatic, and it’s much, much better if you shave your head, because you take control; you don’t wake up with hair all over your pillow,” Howell said. “That’s just really hard to deal with.”

Another one of the most popular resources offered by Breast Connect is the Sisterhood Program. This program matches women battling breast cancer with other women who have survived the same cancer. The service enables women to discuss their specific diagnosis with someone who has already experienced it.

The hands-on support offered by the Sisterhood Program greatly exemplifies the way that Breast Connect operates as a whole. In a time of uncertainty, the organization tries to keep breast cancer patients informed and empowered.

Breast cancer survivor and group member Sharon Toedte explained the uniqueness of the group’s support.

“Here’s a group of people who have been in your shoes, are currently in your shoes, and you can kind of almost unburden them,” Toedte said. “If you need to cry, they’re there to cry with, and they’re not going to take it personally like your family would, and it’s a great outlet from that perspective.”

Toedte joined the group about a year ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer herself. She explained that Breast Connect has provided her with lots of valuable information in an easily accessible manner. The Facebook group, which has over 60 members including

Breast Connect began in 2014 with just 14 women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had gathered together to share their stories and advice. Courtesy of Breast Connect several doctors, is a hub for important conversation and advice.

“It lifts up your spirits,” Toedte said.

Howell is overjoyed with the way that the group has flourished and participation has increased in the past several years since the organization’s conception.

“I’m so happy that everybody’s helping each other. Some of these women came to us in (2014) and they were brand-newly diagnosed

and scared to death,” Howell said. “Now it’s five years later and they’re the ones helping everybody else. We just pay it forward constantly.”

Howell offers one important word of advice to breast cancer patients: Don’t rush into a decision regarding treatment. She emphasizes that it is important to explore your options and continue to advocate for yourself throughout the healing process.

This week in theaters: Ghosts, penguins and juggalos JAMES MAGUIRE Staff Writer

If you are not too busy enjoying the beautiful warm weather or experiencing soul-crushing despair studying before finals, here are the latest movies coming to Knoxville’s cinemas. This week, look out for penguins, juggalos and a terrifying Latin -American ghost.

ror film by “The Conjuring” series creator James Wan, “The Curse of La Llorona.”

Based off the legendary ghost from Mexican folklore, “The Curse of La Llorona” takes place in 1970s urban Los Angeles. The movie follows a social worker named Anna, played

by Linda Cardellini (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Scooby Doo”), who is in charge of investigating a case of child endangerment.

Upon arriving to the home in question, Anna is met with a troubled woman who is frightened beyond belief. The mother tells Anna that the ghost of La Llorona is haunting the family, trying to take the mother’s two children.

According to legend, La Llorona is the spirit of a woman who drowned her kids and was then cursed to walk the Earth forever.

Just like the legend, La Llorona is after the children to eventually drown them as well.

The film also features Patricia Velásquez, Tony Amendola and “Breaking Bad” actor Raymond Cruz. With a 31 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, we will have to see if this movie is worth the time or just another mainstream, jump scare-filled horror movie.

“Penguins”

“The Curse of La Llorona” opened in theaters on Friday, April 19, 2019. Courtesy of IMDB

“The Curse of La Llorona” Starting off our list is the latest hor-

The latest nature movie to come from Disneynature, “Penguins” gives insight into a young penguin’s path in one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. The lead penguin -“Steve”- travels through life, finding a mate and caring for two baby penguins.

When his mate leaves, it is up to Steve to take care of his children against the many

dangers of Antarctica. This movie looks beyond cute and a perfect release for Earth Day. The way the trailer is shot makes the movie seem like a classic Disney coming of age story. The movie already has an 88 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes - so it might be worth shuffling into theaters for.

Joyce is an honest, caring woman who is heavily involved in her local church. Unfortunately, tragedy soon strikes as John falls through the ice of a frozen lake and slips into a coma.

As doctors continue to tell Joyce that John will not make it through the night, Joyce prays and suddenly John has a steady pulse.

The town soon comes together to show support for John and his fight to stay alive.

Starring Marcel Ruiz as John, Josh Lucas and Topher Grace, “Breakthrough” is a drama centering on hope, faith, love and miracles.

The movie has a 67 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so let’s see if this movie can break through with audiences and critics.

“Family”

“Breakthrough” opened in theaters Friday, April 19, 2019. Courtesy of IMDB

“Breakthrough” Directed by Roxann Dawson, “Breakthrough” centers around the real life events of a Missouri mother and her adopted son.

The movie takes place in urban St. Louis. It begins with Joyce (Chrissy Metz) picking up her teenage son from basketball practice.

Finally on our list is Laura Steinel’s “Family.” “Family” is about career-centered and socially awkward Kate Stone (Taylor Schilling from “Orange is the New Black”). After becoming an outcast from her family, Kate is asked to watch her niece Maddie (Bryn Vale). After multiple attempts to babysit Maddie, Maddie runs away to join the Insane Clown Posse’s legion of followers, the Juggalos.

Now Kate must face off against her personal social angst in order to get her niece back. This movie looks absolutely hilarious and has an amazing storyline. The film also spouts off an impressive cast including Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon, “Atlanta” star Brian Tyree Henry and Matt Walsh.

The movie currently has 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and is sure to be the funniest movie to come out this week.

Movie review: ‘Missing Link’ a delightful animated adventure JAKE YODER Staff Writer

Stop-motion animation studio Laika has returned with its newest film, “Missing Link.”

Some of Laika’s films, such as 2009’s “Coraline” and 2016’s “Kubo and the Two Strings,” have become classics in the animation industry. Others, such as 2012’s “ParaNorman” and 2014’s “The Boxtrolls,” have been largely forgotten.

Does their latest foray into stop motion leave a lasting impression?

The film follows Sir Lionel Frost, an adventure who specializes in investigating mythical creatures. After many failed attempts to find proof of any of these creatures, Frost receives a mysterious letter instructing him to travel to Washington to discover the Sasquatch.

When he arrives, however, he finds that the

letter was written by the Sasquatch himself, a lonely creature who asks Frost to bring him to Shangri-La - where he believes his cousins, the Yeti, live.

The first thing of note about “Missing Link” is how impressive its animation is. I wasn’t even sure that the film was actually made in stop motion until the credits showed a time-lapse of the filmmakers putting one of the scenes together. Characters and backgrounds all look amazing; the entire film is a joy to look at.

One of the only problems that I had with the film’s visuals had to do with its art style.

In the film, every creature has round eyes akin to a human, no matter what they are. This causes a few animals, such as horses and elephants, to look absolutely disgusting.

The story is pretty bare bones, but it gets the characters to where they need to be. While I figured that the plot would follow tropes that have been present in film for decades, the film really surprised me by making some decisions

near the ending that I wasn’t suspecting.

One of the biggest issues with the film is its villains. The main villain has very little motivation and is incredibly generic. The film would have been almost exactly the same whether he was there or not, so his addition simply felt annoying.

“Missing Link” features some fabulous voice performances, particularly from the main cast, Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakis and Zoe Saldana.

Generally formulaic plot and bad villain aside, the film is hilarious. It features jokes that everyone will get a kick out of, whether you are five or 55. It is also nice to get a film that has such a wholesome message. When the credits started rolling, all I could think was, “That was absolutely delightful.”

If you consider yourself a fan of animation, go out and support “Missing Link” while it is still in theaters. It’s fantastic animation and hilarious tone make a film that everyone can get behind.

No. 8 Lady Vols drop final game of series to Georgia STAFF REPORT

The No. 8 Tennessee softball team (3410, 11-7 SEC) found itself in a similar situation to the one that ended its season last year in the NCAA Super Regional. Like last year, the Lady Vols and No. 22 Georgia (3315, 7-11 SEC) had the third game decide the series in Athens, Georgia.

The Lady Vols fell 8-0 to the Bulldogs on Sunday. Georgia held a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning before a basesloaded walk. Later in the inning, Georgia’s Alysen Febrey hit a grand slam that would end the game in walk-off fashion.

“It was a tough game, obviously, when you lose like that,” co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. “Credit goes to Georgia.”

Tennessee’s lineup struggled to get on the base paths, as the team only recorded four hits and one walk. Kaitlin Parsons had two hits for the Lady Vols and both were singles. Kaitie Weimer and Jenna Holcomb each had a hit, and Holcomb recorded a stolen base.

The Lady Vols starting pitcher, Caylan Arnold, was credited with the loss. Her re-

cord is now 8-5 this season, and on Sunday she pitched four innings, gave up six hits, three runs, two walks and had one strikeout.

“I thought our kids played hard,” Ralph Weekly said. “I didn’t think any of them dogged it at all during the day. They just outplayed us today.”

The Lady Vols’ Matty Moss also pitched on Sunday. She went for 1.2 innings, gave up four hits, five runs, walked two batters and had two strikeouts.

Georgia’s Kylie Bass earned the win to give her an 8-3 record in 2019. She was credited with the complete game and struck out seven Lady Vols.

Georgia’s offense broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the second with two outs in the frame. With runners on the corners, Jordan Doggett hit a double and drove both runners to home plate.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Bulldogs had a runner on first. Febrey came up to the plate and hit for her own RBI double, driving in the first of five runs on Sunday. Her grand slam was the first of her career.

The Lady Vols were outscored 20-9 this weekend. Sunday marks the first time the Lady Vols have been shutout since a 3-0

#8, Kaili Phillips, slides into home base during the home game against the Texas Longhorns on Friday, March 15, 2019. Nathan Lick / The Daily Beacon result in the second game of the Auburn series earlier in April.

Tennessee’s road record now stands at 9-4 for the 2019 season. All four losses have come against SEC opponents. This was the first series loss on the road for the team.

The Lady Vols dropped games against Missouri and Florida earlier this season.

Tennessee will return to Sherri Parker Lee Stadium on Wednesday to play Tennessee State. First pitch is at 4:00 p.m., and the teams will play a doubleheader.

“When you get beat like that, the worst thing you can do is offer excuses ... I don’t expect this team to fold,” Ralph Weekly said.

Tennessee completes sweep of Kentucky on the road STAFF REPORT

The Tennessee baseball team defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 8-2 on Saturday afternoon in Lexington to finish off a threegame sweep. This was the first road series sweep in Southeastern Conference play for Tennessee since 2010 against Georgia.

The Vols had a pair of four-run innings on Saturday, which propelled them to victory. Early on in the game, it was shaping out to be a pitchers’ duel as starting pitchers Zach Linginfelter and Zach Thompson were both dominant through five shutout innings, allowing just three combined hits.

Linginfelter improved to 6-4 on the year, allowing two runs on five hits and four strikeouts. On the other side, Thompson got his first loss of the season, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits over seven innings.

However, in the sixth, Tennessee was able to capture the momentum in the game as it batted all the way through the lineup.

Thompson struggled with his command all inning, as he hit three batters. Tennessee was able to take advantage of a shaken Thompson, picking up two big hits on their way to scoring four runs in the inning. The Vols were great with runners in scoring position in the game, going 5-for-12, while picking up three two-out hits.

Andre Lipcius got the first run of the game for the Vols on an RBI groundout and Al Soularie followed with a two-run double to extend the Tennessee lead to 3-0. Later in the inning, Evan Russell drove in the final run of the inning with an RBI single to the right-center field gap to score Soularie.

Just as it did in game one on Thursday, Kentucky responded to an early deficit with a pair of solo home runs. In the bottom of the sixth, Zeke Lewis hit the first of the two home runs for the Wildcats, the first of his career. Then, it was Ryan Shinn’s turn, who drove a ball over the wall to bring Kentucky to back within two runs.

Kentucky threatened again in the seventh with a leadoff double by Austin Schultz. That is when Tennessee decided to bring in Camden Sewell from the bullpen. Sewell

responded, as he got T.J Collett to fly out, caught Schultz trying to steal third, and struck out Dalton Reed to end the inning and keep Kentucky from getting any closer.

With the Vols leading 4-2, they were able to break the game open with another fourrun inning in the eighth. Jake Rucker drove in a run with an RBI fielder’s choice. Justin Ammons followed that with a single to left center that scored two more runs to extend the lead to 7-2. Ammons would then score on a wild pitch to finish the scoring on the afternoon.

Tennessee completed just its second series sweep in league play under Tony Vitello. The other time occurred last season when they won all three games against Alabama at home. It was the third sweep overall for the Vols, after they won each of the games against Appalachian State and Indiana to start the season. With Saturday’s victory, Tennessee also reached the 30-win mark for the first time since 2014m when the team finished with a record of 31-23.

Baseball grades: Tennessee sweeps Wildcats in Lexington RYAN SCHUMPERT Staff Writer

and three RBIs. Pete Derkay had a solid weekend coming off the bench and hitting 3-for-5 with three RBIs.

The Tennessee baseball team went on the road this weekend and swept Kentucky to improve to 9-9 in SEC play. The sweep was the Vols’ first conference road sweep since sweeping Georgia in 2010.

Let’s see how they graded out:

Hitting

Grade: A

Tennessee’s offense was struggling coming into the weekend, but they broke out in a big way, scoring 28 runs and tying the Fresno State series for the highest scoring series of the season.

The Vols were helped by some sloppy Wildcat defense, Kentucky had five errors and allowed runs on three wild pitches, but Tennessee did enough at the plate to consider the weekend a massive success.

Tennessee got contributions from nearly every player in its lineup, including RBIs from 10 different Volunteers.

Tennessee also got some power out of its lineup this weekend, as the Vols hit three home runs, including a huge go-ahead homer by Al Soularie in the eighth inning of Thursday’s 4-2 win.

Soularie led the Vols at the plate this weekend, going 3-for-10 with three walks

Starting Pitching

Grade: A

All three of Tennessee’s starting pitchers were good for the Vols this weekend, going deep into the game and allowing a total of five runs.

Garrett Crochet made it 6.2 innings in Thursday’s series opener and had his best stuff. Crochet struck out eight Wildcat batters while allowing six hits and two runs.

He gave up a pair of solo homers, but neither were particularly bad pitches and more of a case of good hitting. Crochet wouldn’t pick up the win, but he kept the deficit to only one, which allowed Tennessee to snag the lead after he exited.

Garrett Stallings built on his excellent junior season, giving up only one run in seven innings. The junior likely could’ve gone the distance, but the game went into rain delay in the top of the eighth and Stallings didn’t re-enter after the one-hour and 29-minute delay.

Tennessee saw a good Zach Linginfelter this weekend, as the Sevierville, Tennessee, native bounced back from his poor performance against Georgia.

Linginfelter threw six innings, giving up only four hits, but two runs thanks to a pair

of solo shots. The junior exited with a lead and picked up the win.

Bullpen

Grade: A+

Tennessee’s bullpen turned in a scoreless weekend of work in 7.1 innings. Andrew Schultz and Redmond Walsh took Tennessee the distance in Thursday night’s close win, allowing only one base runner.

Will Neely didn’t allow a run in his two innings of work in Tennessee’s blowout win on Friday.

Camden Sewell came in with Tennessee holding a two run lead in the seventh inning of Saturday’s win and stranded a runner with some help by catching a Wildcat runner stealing.

Walsh closed out the game throwing a scoreless eighth and ninth inning as Tennessee’s batters gave the Vols some space, scoring four runs in the eighth and expanding the lead to 8-2.

Walsh’s 2.2 scoreless innings improved the redshirt sophomore’s strong season as his ERA is now just 0.35.

Coaching

Grade: A

For the third time in as many weekends, Tennessee has had a pinch-hit home run.

This week’s came when Derkay provided an insurance run in the eighth inning of Thursday night’s win.
