Knoxville Super Regional Live Updates: Tennessee aims to lock up CWS berth, finish off Evansville
Tennessee has a lot on the line Saturday morning at 11 o’clock eastern time from Lindsey Nelson Stadium as the No. 1 overall seed looks to secure a 2024 College World Series by defeating Evansville in game two of the Knoxville Super Regional.
The Vols (54-11) took game one over the Purple Aces (38-25) by a score of 11-5. Four players homered for Tennessee, including Hunter Ensley who finished the day 3-for-4 with a team-best four runs batted in. Evansville took an early lead in the second before tying the ballgame back up in the fifth and finished the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle.
UE will serve as the home team in Saturday’s elimination contest as the game will be televised on ESPN2. Sunday’s ‘if necessary’ contest will take place at 6 o’clock in the evening and be televised on ESPNU.
Tennessee is seeking its seventh College World Series appearance and its third trip to Omaha in the past four seasons.
Right-handed veteran Drew Beam (8-2, 4.16 ERA) will make the start for the Vols while senior lefty Donovan Schults (6-2, 5.84 ERA) counters for the Purple Aces. UT utilized four pitchers throughout the game one victory, but relievers Nate Snead, Andrew Behnke, Dylan Loy and Marcus Phillips are fresh while Kirby Connell (34 pitches) and Aaron Combs (20 pitches) were used on Friday. Evansville top-reliever Shane Harris threw 44 pitches in the loss to open super regionals.
