GT to host Vols baseball

[utvolpj]

Prediction from one of the writers @ Baseball America:

Q: Josh from St. Paul asks:
I love the pitching from Tennessee with the staff Ace Hocehvar and Adkins behind him. Do you think the vols have the pitching and hitting to carry them past Georgia Tech?

A: Will Kimmey: Georgia Tech scores a ton, but Tennessee was the top offensive club in the SEC this year, and that surely means something. If Eli Iorg is fully back from his foot injury (sustained in the SEC tourney), he and Chase Headley and JP Arencibia lead an offense that can be as potent as Tech's at times. The pitching edge, with Hochevar and Adkins superior to what most teams on the East Coast can offer, lead to me taking this a nice upset pick.

Unfortunately, Iorg IS NOT fully recovered from his stress fracture. In fact, during Sunday's game against WSU, the announcers said several times that Eli's limp was getting worse as the game went along. BUT, I certainly hope he was just faking it (yeah, right).
