#6 Tennessee Volunteers
(33-7) Overall (12-6) SEC
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – No. 4/6 Tennessee will look to rebound from a disappointing weekend and start this week on a high note Tuesday night when it hosts in-state foe Lipscomb at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
First pitch between the Vols and Bisons is slated for 6 p.m. on SEC Network+ and the ESPN app.
Fans can also listen to the Voice of Tennessee Baseball John Wilkerson and Vince Ferrara call the action for the Vol Network (FM 99.1/AM 990) as well as via a free audio stream on UTSports.com, the Tennessee Athletics Mobile App and the Varsity App.
Overall: Vols lead, 13-3
in Knoxville: Vols lead, 10-2
in Nashville: Vols lead, 2-1
at Neutral Sites: Vols lead, 1-0
Last Meeting: L, 9-6 on April 30, 2024 (Knoxville, Tenn.)
UT and Lipscomb have faced off in six of the last seven season (every year but 2020). The Vols are 4-2 against the Bisons in that span with all six meetings occurring in Knoxville. Lipscomb defeated the Big Orange, 9-6, in the most recent meeting between the in-state foes.
Tennessee enters Tuesday's contest with a 9-1 record in midweek games this season with five of those nine victories coming by double digits. Throughout head coach Tony Vitello's tenure (2018-pres.), the Vols are an impressive 73-11 overall in midweek games.
Cannon Turning a Corner
Cannon Peebles has begun to turn a corner offensively for the Vols, batting .320 with eight hits, three home runs and six RBIs in the team's last 10 games. The junior backstop recorded three hits in back-to-back SEC games, doing so in the series finale at Ole Miss before following that up with anther three-hit day in the opening game against Kentucky last Friday. In that win over the Wildcats, the switch-hitting Peebles homered from both sides of the plate and finished with a season-high four RBIs.
Fischer's On-Base Streak Continues to Climb
Junior infielder Andrew Fischer has been an on-base machine for the Big Orange this season, leading the team with a .497 on-base percentage and an SEC-high 43 walks. The New Jersey native is the only player on the team to have reached base in all 40 games this season. Dating back to his time at Ole Miss last season, Fischer has reached base safely in 43 consecutive contests.
