KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Top-ranked Tennessee concludes its home regular season schedule on Tuesday facing Belmont at 6 p.m. at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Vols are looking for their 13th midweek victory of the season on Tuesday. A win would mark the second-highest total in a single season since 2001. Prior to the game, Tennessee will honor its seniors for their accomplishments and time spent with the program.

BROADCAST INFO
Tuesday's game will be streamed live on SEC Network+ and the ESPN app with Andy Brock (PxP) calling the action. The online broadcasts can be accessed on any mobile device through WatchESPN. WatchESPN can be accessed through the ESPN App, or online at espn.com/watch.

PROJECTED STARTING PITCHERS
LHP Zander Sechrist (4-0, 1.62 ERA) vs. RHP Jordan Zuger (2-1, 3.03 ERA)

SERIES HISTORY

at Neutral Sites: N/A
Last 10 Meetings: Tennessee leads, 9-1

You know, had we not lost that one game with TTU (the wood bat game), then (unless I'm countring incorrectly) a win vs Belmont and a sweep of MSU would have given us a 50 win regular season. That's just nearly unfathomable that we even still have a *great* chance at a 49 win season. This team is unreal.

I have a feeling that I will be telling my grandkids about this season several years down the road. Truly a special team we have.
