Tennessee baseball is back n action at the friendly confines of Lindsey Nelson Stadium Thursday for game one against arch-rival Florida.<\/p>\n
The Vols (21-8, 4-5 SEC) tagged top-ranked LSU for 14 runs during Saturday\u2019s game three win in Baton Rouge to avoid the sweep. Tennessee outscored the Tigers during three games, losing games one and two by a combined four runs. Meanwhile, the Gators (25-5, 7-2 SEC) are coming off a series-win over Auburn and a midweek victory over Bethune-Cookman.<\/p>\n
Ace Chase Dollander (4-2, 3.92 ERA) will get the ball first for Tennessee on the weekend and will be squaring off with fellow right-handed hurler Brandon Sproat (4-1, 5.45 ERA) here tonight. Gators first baseman, and No. 3 pitcher, Jac Caglianone leads the country with 18 home runs this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n Weather permitting, these two teams will be back in action Friday night at 7 pm eastern (SEC Network) and conclude the series on Saturday at 2 pm eastern (ESPN 2). All three games in the series will be nationally televised.<\/a><\/p>\n Game Thread:<\/a> <\/strong>Follow along with hundreds of Tennessee fans as the Vols welcome No. 3 Florida to Lindsey Nelson Stadium. \u00a0<\/p>\n Watch: ESPNU<\/a> | WatchESPN<\/a> | ESPN App<\/p>\n Listen: Vol Radio Network<\/a> | The Sports Animal<\/a> \u2013 99.1 FM, 990 AM | UTSports.com<\/a> | Tennessee Athletics Gameday App<\/p>\n Live Stats: SideArm<\/a><\/p>\n Thursday: No. 3 Florida at No. 11 Tennessee | 8 pm ET | ESPNU<\/p>\n Friday: No. 3 Florida at No. 11 Tennessee | 7 pm ET | SEC Network<\/p>\n Saturday: No. 3 Florida at No. 11 Tennessee | 2 pm ET | ESPN 2<\/p>\n USA Today \u2013 No. 8<\/p>\n NCBWA \u2013 No. 9<\/p>\n Perfect Game \u2013 No. 10<\/p>\n D1 Baseball \u2013 No. 11<\/p>\n Baseball America \u2013 No. 12<\/p>\n Collegiate Baseball \u2013 No. 17<\/p>\n The post Live Updates: Tennessee opens pivotal conference series with No. 3 Florida<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tennessee baseball is back n action at the friendly confines of Lindsey Nelson Stadium Thursday…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2162\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Starting Lineups<\/strong><\/h2>\n
