Tennessee has a tall order today, as they fell to the Texas A&M Aggies in the opening game of the College World Series finals series. The Volunteers need to win to force a third game on Monday.
To stand a chance, head coach Tony Vitello has called to the mound starter Drew Beam, hoping to get a quality start that will shut out the Aggies.

Tony Vitello admits the Tennessee Volunteers need to do better
In the aftermath of the loss to Texas A&M in Game 1 of the College World Series finals, head coach Tony Vitello spoke to the press. He admitted that his players weren't the best on Saturday night:
"The team that played better won the game, they appeared more prepared."
He also pointed out some of the weaknesses he has seen in his team this season:
"There's certainly been a few quirky plays, guys have put the ball in play against our guys, and they're going to continue to do that. We don't quite have the strikeout type of staff that we did last year. We get our fair share. But guys put the ball in play. And they found some holes tonight, as did Florida State. And also there's been some unique ones, to be fair to our guys."
