Tennessee has never played either program entering this week's matchups against the Wildcats and Screaming Eagles.
Tennessee continued its early season success with another undefeated showing last week, going 4-0 to run its win streak to 10 games, marking the program's sixth win streak of 10 or more games since 2019. Over its current win streak, the Vols have outscored their opponents 117-30 and have posted five run-rule victories, including three straight in last weekend's series sweep of Bowling Green. UT is averaging 11.7 runs per game during the streak, as well.
Billy Barrels
Junior third baseman Billy Amick has been red-hot at the plate this season, leading the team and ranking among the SEC leaders in numerous offensive categories, including hits (17), home runs (seven), RBIs (18), total bases (42) and slugging percentage (.933). Amick was named the SEC Player of the Week on Monday after blasting four homers and leading the league with eight runs scored last week.
Burke Chasing Home Run Record
After hitting three homers in last weekend's series sweep of Bowling Green, junior slugger Blake Burkeis just six home runs away from tying the program record held by his predecessor at first base, Luc Lipcius, who hit 40 during his UT career (218 games played). Burke's 34 career long balls have come in just 122 games played.
