Stay updated with Tennessee’s baseball game against Queens on Tuesday.
After starting the season 20-0, the Tennessee Volunteers finally hit some bumps in the road. They dropped their mid week game to East Tennessee State and then dropped the first game of the series to Alabama. The Vols would go on to win the next two to take the series and potentially start up a new win streak.
Tennessee’s mid week matchup this time around is against Queens. The two programs met last season for the first time and the Volunteers came away with the win. Tennessee is 69-11 overall in midweek games under head coach Tony Vitello.
Unfortunately for Queens, they have not had much success recently. Head coach Jake Hendrick is in his second year with the program and holds a record of 18-59. This season they are just 4-18.
