Tennessee baseball loses Game 3 and overall series to Kent State.
Game 3 was set to be the tiebreaker between Kent State and the hometown Volunteers. The first two games were battles all the way to the end as each game was decided by 1-run. Sunday's series finale was the only one that didn't fit that mold as the visitors departed with a 9-5 win over then men in orange.
It was another outing where the bats just were not connecting as they usually do, and the errors from Game 2 rolled over into Game 3.In terms of the errors, much of that can be fixed as it is fundamental habits. Seeing the ball all the way through the catch, throwing catchable balls to teammates, and just keeping things in front. left too many runners on base throughout the series but definitely in Game 3. When you get guys on base, especially in scoring position, you have to get the guys across home plate.for Tennessee as the Vols only had 12 hits combined between the two games. It will be interesting to see how much Josh Elander continues to adjust the batting lineup. On Sunday, a few changes were made in the batting order to try and create an offensive spark. Elander admitted following the game that this was not Tennessee's standard, and that the program just has to settle in and get better. A potential silver lining to this series is having such a competitive series early on can only benefit the young Vols as they strive to get better and to find their true identity as a team before rolling into conference play around mid-March.The Vols will be back on the diamond at home on Tuesday as they welcome Bellarmine.*Feb. 27 UCLA 4pm ESTFollow Our Social Media Pages and YouTube
