The Aces scored 10 runs over the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, scoring three more in the fifth and four in the sixth to take control. They became the first team in NCAA Baseball Tournament history to beat the field’s No. 1 overall seed as a No. 4 regional seed.
Evansville advanced out of the Greenville Regional last week, where East Carolina was the No. 16 national seed. Its the first NCAA Tournament appearance for the Aces since 2006 and their first trip to the Super Regionals.
Tennessee, meanwhile, is in its fourth straight Super Regional after sweeping through Northern Kentucky, Indiana and Southern Miss last week in the Knoxville Regional. The Vols are looking to advance to the College World Series for the second straight year and third time in the last four seasons.
“At no point (is Evansville) ever going to go away easy,” Tennessee coach Tony Vitello said after the loss on Saturday. “So they were able to put some things together and you go back and anytime you make decisions with pitching, if you get some zeros or ones out of the deal, then it went well and maybe you made some accurate decisions and if it doesn’t, then maybe we could have made some better decisions in those situations.”
