As per reports, Zander Sechrist is expected to start for Tennessee against Texas A&M in Game 3 of the College World Series finals on Monday. However, the Vols are yet to announce their starter.

Sechrist has been exceptional for Tennessee this season and he has a 5-1 record heading into the all-important game. The left-hander has racked up 69 strikeouts and 15 walks in 72.2 innings pitched with a 3.22 ERA.

After winning Game 2 of the CWS finals, Tennessee coach Tony Vitello urged his team to show the same spirit on Monday.

“I felt we were more true to who we were today in pregame, in the dugout, during the game,” Vitello said. “It’s easy to say that because we end up doing OK on the scoreboard. But I’d rather go into battle with that group the way they showed up today, and hope they do the same tomorrow.”
