Tennessee drops first NCAA Tournament regional home game under Tony Vitello

Tennessee beat Miami (Ohio) 9-2 on Friday and Cincinnati 10-6 on Saturday to advance.

The win over Cincinnati on Saturday was the Vols’ 14th straight regional win and 18th straight at home. Tennessee was previously undefeated in home regional games under Tony Vitello and hadn’t lost in regional play since June 2, 2019, when their season ended in a 5-2 loss to North Carolina in the Chapel Hill Regional in Year 1 under Vitello. 

Nate Snead loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff walk, a single and then a bunt single. He then walked in the game-winning run on four pitches. 

Wake jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, but the Vols answered with two runs in the third, after a Gavin Kilen run-scoring double and a Andrew Fischer RBI single. 

Wake scored three in the bottom of the third and two in the bottom of the fourth to get the lead back and build it to 6-2. 

Tennessee tied the game with a pair of two-run home runs, first from Fischer in the fifth and then Levi Clark in the sixth. 

Dylan Loy started Sunday’s game and pitched 1.1 innings before being replace by Brandon Arvidson, who gave up five runs over 5.1 innings, but struck out 12 along the way. Snead took the loss after giving up one run on four hits over 1.1 innings, with three strikeouts and two walks.
