VOLS AT A GLANCEThe University of Tennessee baseball team got back to .500 for the season with a pair of dominating

victories over mid-week opponents on Tuesday and Wednesday. After suffering three straight home losses at the hands of No. 4 LSU last weekend, the Volunteers took out their aggression on Tennessee Tech and Presbyterian College, defeating the Golden Eagles, 9-3, before routing the Blue Hose the following day by the score of 25-6. Over the course of the two games, the Orange and White was able to collect a total of 34 hits to raise its team batting average 13 points, going from .267 to .280. Juniors Cody Hawn and P.J. Polk paced the attack by hitting .571 (4-for-7) and .556 (5-for-9) in the two contests, respectively. Hawn also walked four times on Wednesday while Polk blasted a home run in each game and totaled eight RBIs. Polk has now homered in three straight games, as he belted a solo shot against LSU on Sunday, March 28, and had three-run longballs versus both Tennessee Tech and Presbyterian College. Against the Blue Hose, the Vols tallied the eighth-highest single-game run total in school history behind the strength of a season-high five home runs. In addition to Polk’s blast, senior Matt Hamaker, juniors Blake Forsythe and Khayyan Norfork and sophomore Matt Ramsey each belted one in the victory. On the mound, senior Aaron Tullo posted his best outing of the season to claim his first win of the year on Tuesday, tying his career-high with five strong innings, while junior Rob Catapano improved to 3-0 on the season with a season-best five strikeouts in four innings of work the next day. Redshirt junior D.J. Leffler pitched in both contests, totaling three scoreless frames with three strikeouts and no hits allowed.

SCOUTING OLE MISS

Ole Miss improved it’s overall record to 20-6 with a 5-3 victory over Mississippi State in the annual Governor’s Cup game at Trustmark Park in Pearl, Miss., earlier this week after winning four out of five con-tests last week, including mid-week wins over Southern Miss and Saint Louis before taking the weekend series against No. 2 Florida with Friday and Saturday wins ... Senior IF Zach Miller was a career-best 4-for5 with five RBI to help lead the Rebels in the 11-6 win over Southern Miss ... Ole Miss’ offense continued to explode throughout the week as Ole Miss posted 19 hits against Saint Louis and on Saturday against Florida, scoring a season-high 14 runs against SLU and besting that with 15 runs against No. 2 Florida in a series clinching win on Saturday ... Junior OF Tim Ferguson was 5-for-5 with a walk on Saturday at the lead-off spot to lead Ole Miss in the 15-3 win over the Gators, becoming the first team to take a weekend series from second-ranked Florida in 2010 ... Junior LHP Drew Pomeranz improved to 4-0 on the season with a win on Friday night ... Pomeranz worked a season-long 7.1 innings and allowed only one run on five hits with two walks and nine strikeouts...Pomeranz now has 263 strikeouts in his career, fourth on the career list at Ole Miss ... Senior RHP Aaron Barrett picked up the win on Saturday, improving to 6-0 on the year and taking the lead in wins in the SEC ... Barrett has now turned in a quality start in all six outings in 2010 ... He tied his career-high with nine strikeouts on Saturday in 6.0 innings of work ... Freshman RHP Brett Huber picked up his second save of the season on Friday night, getting a called strike on Florida cleanup hitter Austin Maddox with the bases loaded to end the game.

SERIES HISTORY WITH THE REBELSTennessee trails the all-time series with Ole Miss, 31-35-1, but the two squads have not squared off since

UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh took over in Knoxville. The two squads have split the last four contests, with the Vols claiming a series win over the Rebels in Knoxville in 2007 before dropping a 6-3 decision at the SEC Tournament less than three weeks later.

2010 TENNESSEE BASEBALL ROSTER


TODD RALEIGHThird SeasonWestern Carolina, 1991Record at UT: 66-71 (.482)Career Record: 323-280 (.536)

Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh is in his second season at Tennessee after guiding his alma mater, Western Carolina, for eight seasons.

While at Tennessee, Raleigh has had seven players drafted, including two in 2008 and five more in 2009, highlighted by first-round pick Kentrail Davis. In 18 seasons as a collegiate coach, Raleigh has now produced a total of 39 MLB draft picks and

56 professional players. That number will undoubtedly continue to grow as 2009 third-round selection Bryan Morgado made the decision to return to Knoxville for a chance to continue to grow under Raleigh’s leadership during his junior campaign.

During his tenure in Cullowhee, Raleigh’s clubs won two regular-season Southern Conference champion-ships, one Southern Conference tournament title, turned in five top-three league finishes and made a pair of NCAA Regional appearances—reaching the Regional final both times.

His 2007 WCU team posted a winning record against teams in the top 35 of the RPI and earned a rare mid-major at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. The Catamounts were touted by ESPN’s Kyle Peterson as featuring an “SEC-style offense.”

In 18 collegiate seasons, Raleigh has coached 56 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including 13 players who were drafted in the top-10 rounds and seven who have advanced onto Major League rosters.

In those 18 seasons as a collegiate assistant or head coach, Raleigh’s teams have finished third or better in their respective league 12 times (67 percent).

Raleigh and his wife, Stephanie, have three children: Cal (12), Emma Grace (10) and Carley (3).

Turn up The VOLume “Tennessee has everything. It’s the state

school, the flagship school. We can recruit this state, and there are enough good players in this state to win a national championship. We’ve got to build this program from the inside out, and that’s what we plan on doing.”

— Head Coach Todd Raleigh

“When you make a crazy play like that, say when you are younger, you’re like ‘Man, what if there was a TV camera around? That could end up on SportsCenter.’ Luckily they dug through it and found a video, and I was just sitting there on my couch. It was weird seeing me and then LeBron. It was crazy.”

— UT Outfielder Chris Fritts

“I think we’ve done a good job of building a foundation that we need to build, but obvi-ously, with that comes the end product. The end product for us is winning some games, and I think we’re poised to do that. I think what we had to do was go through the right process and we have gone through those proper channels. I feel excited about this season. We’ve got a tremendous team. We’re more athletic, more physical, we’re deeper, we’re better. You com-bine that with the way we ended last year, the momentum we had, I feel like we’re going to have a great year, I really do.”

— Head Coach Todd Raleigh

“The renovations that have been made to the stadium are unbelievable. It’s a place we can call home now. Coming to the park every day, I feel really at home and proud to be a part of this team and this university. This is probably the most talented team I’ve been a part of at Tennessee. Our depth is just tremendous and everywhere on the field is a strong point.”

— Junior Catcher Blake Forsythe

“I’ve been a fan my entire life and I will be even when I leave this university. It’s always going to be home to me. No matter if I’m here playing or watching younger guys several years down the road, I will always want to see UT do well and hopefully we can really turn it around and become one of the premier programs in the country, starting this year.”

— Junior First Baseman Cody Hawn

A 2005 loss to Clemson which started at home, was halted, and then concluded on a different date on the road is not included in Raleigh’s home-away-neutral record.

u Raleigh led an offensive juggernaut in 2007 that ranked fifth nationally in runs per game (8.4), sixth nationally in home runs per game (1.4), scoring (8.4) and slugging percentage (.517), seventh in doubles per game (2.39) and 11th in batting average (.323).

u Raleigh’s 2008 UT squad hit 67 home runs in just 56 games, the fifth-highest single-season total in program history.

u The Vols improved upon that number in Raleigh’s second season, blasting out 87 home runs in 55 games, good for the second-best single-season total in UT history.

u Despite fielding a lineup that regularly included six or more underclassmen in 2009, UT improved its RPI by 31 positions from the previous season, moving from 89 to 58.

u Under Raleigh’s guidance, first-year Vol Cody Hawn became just the 10th player in UT history to claim the team Triple Crown with a .364 batting average, 22 home runs and 81 RBIs.

TODD RALEIGH NOTES




NOTEWORTHY

QUICK HITSuDespite the fact that it has dropped its

first six conference games, Tennessee has been close in each one, as it has been either tied or within one run in either the seventh or eighth inning over every contest. Unfortunately, the Big Orange has allowed 22 runs in the final three innings, as opposed to just 20 in frames one through six.uIn his first six starts of 2010, senior Stephen

McCray has already induced 49 groundball outs while giving up just 31 flyouts in 36.1 innings, good for an astounding 1.58 groundout/flyout ratio. In comparison, McCray’s G/F ratio last season was 0.75, as he recorded just 44 ground-outs in 52.1 total innings of work.uScoring the initial run of the game has

been a key to victory for Tennesse this season as it is 9-3 when it cracks the scoreboard first. When they allow their opponent to do so, how-ever, the Vols are just 4-10 with two of those wins coming on walk-off hits in the bottom of the ninth.uUT scored 40 runs in its season-opening

sweep over Xavier, the most since it tallied 47 in a three-game set against Radford in 2005.

FORSYTHE, DUFFY STARTING TO HEAT UPAlthough juniors Blake Forsythe and Matt

Duffy both got off to a slow start at the plate this season, they have begun to heat up recently.

Forsythe has hit safely in six straight contests after recording a hit in just eight of the first 20 games of the year. During his hitting streak, Forsythe is hitting at a .409 clip (9-for-22) with two home runs, a double and five RBIs.

Duffy started to turn things around at the beginning of conference play, during which he is leading the team with a .333 batting average.In the first game of a doubleheader against LSU on March 27, Duffy launched his first home run in a Tennessee uniform. He had 16 in his frrst two collegiate seasons, which he played at Vermont.

PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE METAL The Vols have been considerably more

aggressive on the basebaths this season than they have been in either of the first two years

of the Raleigh regime.Through just 26 games, Tennessee has

already stolen 40 bases, led by 14 from junior P.J. Polk. By comparison, the team had just 39 in 2009 with Josh Liles leading the way with a squad-best eight. Polk joins Andy Simunic (20) in 2008 as the only player in the last three years to reach double-digits in stolen bases.

BROTHERS IN ARMSThe story of this season for UT has been start-

ing pitching. Through the first 26 games, Bryan Morgado, Steven Gruver, Stephen McCray, Rob Catapano, Steve Crnkovich and Aaron Tullo have combined to post a 3.83 ERA. In compari-son the ERA for Tennessee starters at the end of the 2009 campaign was 6.29.

For the year, the Tennessee pitching staff has limited opposing hitters to a batting average of .247, good for third in the league. Junior Bryan Morgado currently ranks second in the conference, as opposing hitters are batting just .187 off of him, while senior Stephen McCray is fourth among all SEC players with an opposing batting average of .195.

SO MANY CHOICES...When UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh fills

out his lineup card, he certainly has plenty of options at hand defensively. Already this sea-son, UT has had 16 players combine to play a total of 35 different positions. The list is below:

Matt Hamaker (4) - C/1B/3B/LFMatt Duffy (3) - 3B/SS/LFBlake Forsythe (3) - C/1B/3BChris Fritts (3) - LF/CF/RFCody Grisham (3) - 2B/SS/3BJosh Liles (3) - LF/CF/RFDrew Steckenrider (3) - LF/CF/RFCody Hawn (2) - 1B/3BAdam King (2) - C/1BKhayyan Norfork (2) - 2B/LFPJ Polk (2) - LF/CFZach Osborne (1) - SSCody Stubbs (1) - 1BCharley Thurber (1) - RFMatt Ramsey (1) - RFAndy Yates (1) - LF

SHUFFLING THE DECKThe same theory applies to the batting order,

as Todd Raleigh has used a total of 25 different ineups through the first 26 games in an attempt to find the combination that will allow the UT offense to run most efficiently. The Vols used their opening day batting order on Feb. 26 at Oregon State but have used a different combi-nation in every game since.

SETTING THE TABLETennessee has been tremendously success-

ful at finding ways to get on base to start an inning this season. Through 26 games, the Vols have reached base 94 times in 229 leadoff opportunities, which equates to 41.0 percent of the time.

Less than half of those successful chances have come via a hit though, as UT leadoff hitters are batting just .225 (40-for-178) this season. Instead, the Vols have been working their way on base with 41 leadoff walks and 10 hit-batters.

THURBER NAMED “CARE”ACTER STAR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Sophomore outfielder Charley Thurber has been selected as UT’s CAREacter Star Athlete of the Week. The CAREacter Program is based on a five-point star system that includes the basic traits of a true champion, whether on or off the field. Those traits are attitude, character, grades, community service and performance.

A 6-4 left-hander from Elmira, N.Y., Thurber has appeared in 20 games, starting 14 in right field. He is hitting .234 with three home runs and 15 RBIs, has stolen a pair of bases and scored nine runs.

This semester, Thurber is participating in the VOLScholar Program for academic and citizen-ship-building and wears the VOLScholar logo on his uniform as the holder of a 3.0 or better grade-point average. The sophomore has a 3.33 GPA as an arts and sciences major.

Every two weeks one student-athlete is selected as the school’s “Star Athlete of the Week” based on the aforementioned five cri-teria. As a reward for their accomplishments, honorees will be recognized each week by their local media and presented with a T-shirt and a letter acknowledging them as their county’s “Star Athlete of the Week.” Sophomore pitcher Adam Adkins was UT’s first award winner.

MORGADO CLAIMS SEC PITCHER OF THE WEEK ACCOLADES

Following a stellar outing against Connecticut on Saturday, March 13, University of Tennessee junior southpaw Bryan Morgado became the first Volunteer in nearly three years to claim Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week honors. The last UT player to earn the accolades was James Adkins in the 12th week of the 2007 campaign.

Morgado twirled an absolute gem in the Orange and White’s 3-2 victory over the Huskies, claiming his second win of the season with seven shutout innings of one-hit ball. The 6-3 lefty set a season high with nine strike-outs, while surrendering just one hit in the first inning. He then proceeded to sit down 19 of the final 21 batters he faced, including 12 straight at one point. He allowed just one runner, the double in the opening frame, to advance past first base during his seven innings on the mound.

With his nine punch-outs, Morgado moved his career total to 208, passing Luke Hudson (202) and Wyatt Allen (203) for sole possession of ninth place on UT’s all-time strikeout list.

HAMMERIN’ HAMAKERSenior Matt Hamaker had a breakout offen-

sive performance against Eastern Kentucky on March 3, notching the first two home run per-formance of his UT career. The 5-11 Clarksville, Tenn., native had just one home run in his first 31 at-bats as a Vol before blasting two in three plate appearances versus the Colonels.

was tabbed No. 9 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 “Plays of the Day” on Monday, March 1.

It was also shown on the show “SportsNation” the following day, when it was voted “More Athletic” than an in-your-face dunk by the Phoenix Suns’ Amar’e Stoudemire. It did not, however, win a vote against a LeBron James alley-oop when it was up for the best play of the week award, but it did garner 39 percent of the vote.

With a runner on first and one out just moments after the Beavers scored their first run of the day on Sunday, OSU’s Carter Bell drove an 0-1 pitch from UT starter Stephen McCray to deep left. Although the ball was slic-ing away from him, Fritts made a leaping grab, somersaulted on the warning track and gunned it back into shortstop Zach Osborne who was able to relay it to Cody Stubbs at first to double up Parker Berberet to end the inning and the Oregon State threat.

GRUVER RECOGNIzED AS CB360 PRIMETIME PITCHER OF THE WEEK

After logging seven shutout innings against 10th-ranked Oregon State on Feb. 27, University of Tennessee sophomore southpaw Steven Gruver was named the CollegeBaseball360.com Primetime Pitcher of the Week, the web site announced March 2.

A native of Canfield, Ohio, Gruver picked up the first win of his collegiate career with a sterling performance against the Beavers on Saturday, getting the Volunteers back on track after a 17-1 loss the previous night. The 6-1 lefty threw seven shutout innings, while striking out a career-high nine and allowing only three hits and one walk.

Gruver allowed just two runners to reach second and none to advance to third during his time on the mound. He threw a total of 97 pitches with 65 going for strikes and sat down 11 of the final 12 batters he faced, including 10 straight at one point.

FORSYTHE NAMED TO JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST

Following a stellar sophomore season and a strong start to the 2010 campaign, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission announced that UT junior catcher Blake Forsythe was named to the Watch List for the 2010 Coleman Company Johnny Bench Award delivered by Papa John’s Pizza.

Fifty-three catchers were nominated for the award by their coaches. Because the award is given annually to the top division one catcher, the list will be updated to include other candi-dates until May 5, 2010.

POLK CLAIMS INITIAL SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS OF 2010 SEASON

After leading Tennessee to its first season-opening series sweep since 2004 with a trio of three-hit performances, junior outfielder P.J. Polk was named the first Southeastern Conference Player of the Week of the 2010 campaign on Feb. 22. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native was 9-for-12 during the opening week-end, good for a stellar .750 batting average.

In addition to his nine hits, Polk also walked three times to allow him to reach base safely in 12 of his 16 plate appearances. The 5-9 speedster posted a tremendous 1.083 slugging percentage with four doubles and five singles,

while also adding a pair of stolen bases, two RBIs, a sacrifice fly, as assist from his position in left field and a team-high seven runs.

The award was the second of Polk’s career, as he also earned the honors in week nine last season after hitting for a .455 average in the Volunteers’ series win on the road against top-ranked LSU.

MORGADO RETURNS FOR JUNIOR SEASON; BACK IN THE ROTATION

A third-round pick by the Chicago White Sox in 2009, UT junior Bryan Morgado is one of just three college players drafted in the first three rounds to return to school, joining Kentucky’s James Paxton and Arizona State pitcher Josh Spence.

In 2009, the Miami, Fla., native started five games and made 15 appearances out of the bullpen for the Volunteers. He finished the year with a 4-2 record, a 6.36 ERA and two saves, while striking out a team high 75 batters in 52 1/3 innings.

The 6-3 left-hander has returned to the Tennessee rotation as its Friday night starter in 2010 after spending most of his sophomore campaign pitching out of the bullpen.

UT SCHEDULE RANKED AS 16TH MOST DIFFICULT BY BOYDSWORLD.COM

With a schedule that features a total of 34 games against teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year, the University of Tennessee baseball schedule has been rated as the 16th-most difficult among 301 NCAA Division I teams, according to BoydsWorld.com.

The Volunteers’ schedule ranks as the third-hardest in the Southeastern Conference, behind only Georgia (No. 8) and Arkansas (No. 15).

BoydsWorld.com is a comprehensive college baseball ratings source with up-to-date RPI, strength-of-schedule and NCAA-leading statis-tics calculated throughout the season.

VOLS NAME CAPTAINS FOR 2010 SEASONThe Tennessee baseball team announced

VOLS HOST ‘KICKS FOR KIDS’ SHOE DRIVETennessee Baseball hosted a “Kicks for Kids”

day on Sunday, March 7, collecting new and slightly used shoes for those in need through

2010 SEC STANDINGS


the Soles4Souls charity. Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that

collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and closets of people. The charity distributes these shoes free of charge to people in need. The charity’s slogan is “Changing the world, one pair at a time.”

Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 7 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes. The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States.

VOLS TO HOLD BOOK DRIVE FOR KNOX COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

In addition to hosting the Arby’s Classic May 13-14, Tennessee Baseball held a book drive on bothdays to help support the Knox County Public Library. In all, the Vols helped to collect over 200 books to support the Knox County Public Library and its goal to strive to meet the educational, informational and cultural needs of the local community.

SUMMER LEAGUE SUCCESS FOR VOLSAfter a strong finish to the 2009 season, a

numbe of Vols were able to carry that momen-tum over into summer league action where they put their talents on full display.

Junior Bryan Morgado spent his summer helping to lead the Bourne Braves to their first-ever league championship in the prestigious Cape Cod League. In the regular season portion of the team’s schedule, he threw 32.1 innings, amassing a 2-1 record with a 3.06 ERA in eight appearances, including six starts.

While Morgado was setting down hitters in Cape Cod, UT sophomore Steven Gruver was dominating the Northwoods League, earning postseason all-star honors. As the undisputed ace of the La Crosse Loggers pitching staff, Gruver put together a stellar 7-1 record and 2.23 ERA in 14 appearances, while leading his team to the championship series.

FORSYTHE SPENDS SUMMER WITH USA COLLEGIATE NATIONAL TEAM

Following a breakout season in 2009, junior catcher Blake Forsythe completed a stint with

the USA Collegiate Baseball National Team this summer, where he hit at a .293 clip with a pair of home runs and nine RBIs. He also walked 21 times in as many games, en route to an impres-sive .500 on-base percentage. He is the 17th Vol to have either played for or been invited to try out for Team USA.

NEW FACES IN THE CROWDThe Volunteers have welcomed 14 newcom-

ers to Rocky Top this season. Highlighting the group are four freshmen that heard their name called in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. The class includes a total of nine freshmen, two transfers and three junior college players.

CATAPANO BRINGS CWS EXPERIENCEJunior left-handed pitcher Rob Catapano

brings an element to this year’s team that no other Volunteer can claim: experience playing in the College World Series.

The 6-0 Knoxville native is donning the Orange and White for the first time in 2010 after sitting out a season after transferring from North Carolina. During his time as a Tar Heel, Catapano amassed a 5-1 record and 3.42 ERA in 46 appearances, including seven starts.

North Carolina advanced to the College World Series in both of his seasons in Chapel Hill. Catapano twirled 1 1/3 innings of score-less relief against Rice, as well as a a third of an inning versus Oregon State in the squad’s first go-around and another perfect inning against Fresno State the following year.

NEW FACES ON THE COACHING STAFFIn addition to the 14 new players, Tennessee

also welcomes a trio of new coaches in pitching coach Jason Beverlin, volunteer assistant Bill Currier and strength and conditioning coach Herman Demmink. Former volunteer assistant Nate Headley also moved into a full-time posi-tion as the team’s director of operations during the offseason.

HOMEGROWN TALENT PLENTIFUL ON TENNESSEE ROSTER

Tennessee’s roster includes 16 players from the state of Tennessee (44 percent of the ros-

ter). Four Vols are from Knox County and one is from Hamilton County (Chattanooga), while five other hail from West Tennessee and six are from Middle Tennessee.

VERMONT’S LOSS IS TENNESSEE’S GAINWhen the University of Vermont made the

decision to disband its baseball program last year, Catamount coaches and players were not sure what their futures held. For two, shortstop Matt Duffy and head coach Bill Currier, their paths would lead to Tennessee.

The 2009 America East Conference Player of the Year, Duffy found out he would be play-ing in Knoxville in April. It wasn’t until the next January though, that he discovered that he would be joined by his former head coach, as Bill Currier assumed the reigns as UT’s volun-teer assistant coach.

Duffy, who has moved to third with the Vols, hit .388 with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs en route to second-team All-American honors. Currier coached at Vermont for 22 years, put-ting together a record of 486-470.FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

According to freshman outfielder Chris Fritts, the sacrifice bunt he laid down in the third inning of UT’s 17-1 win over Xavier on Sun., Feb. 21, was the first of his life, including high school and summer league ball.

“I didn’t even really think about it until I got back to the dugout and all of the guys were giv-ing me high-fives,” Fritts said. “Bunting was not one of my strong points when I got here, but I’ve done a lot of extra work before practices to get better at it, so it felt good to get that first one down.”

SECOND PHASE OF RENOVATIONS UNDER-WAY AT LINDSEY NELSON STADIUM

behind the third-base dugout has been reno-vated and a a new batting cage facility, approxi-mately 60 yards in length, will be added down the right-field line.

The first phase, complete prior to the 2009 season, included more than $4 million worth of improvements, primarily to player devel-opment areas. Work was finished on a team clubhouse that features a state-of-the art locker room, training room and coaches’ office com-plex. Phase I also included the addition of nearly 1,000 seats down the right-field line, as well as a party plaza, and saw the field surface replaced.

Phase three will include the construction of a new press box and luxury suites, while the fourth and final phase will add permanent stands down the left-field line.

BASEBALL HOSTS 18TH ANNUAL LEAD-OFF BANQUET; ANNOUNCES ALL-DECADE TEAMS

Former University of Tennessee standouts James Adkins and Mike Lincoln joined fellow former Vols and current professional players J.P. Arencibia, Chase Headley and Luke Hochevar as part of the speaker panel featured at the 18th Annual Tennessee Baseball Leadoff Banquet on Feb. 5 at the Knoxville Convention Center.

SEC COACHES PICK VOLS TO FINISH SIXTH IN PRESEASON POLL

Tennessee was picked to finish sixth in the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division, as determined by a vote of the league’s 12 head coaches, the conference office announced prior to the season. LSU was predicted to repeat as the 2010 SEC champions.

In the overall SEC Champion vote, LSU received five of a possible 11 votes. Florida received four votes while Arkansas had three. In addition to picking a preseason SEC champion, the league’s head coaches voted a predicted order of finish in the SEC Eastern and Western Divisions.

In the Eastern Division, Florida was the favor-ite with 64 of a possible 66 points. South Carolina came in second with 52 points and Georgia third with 42. Tennessee finished with a total of 19 points in the poll. LSU was named the favorite in the Western Division with a total of 63 points. Arkansas was second with 59, while Ole Miss, who shared the overall title last season with LSU, finished third with 39.

Points were compiled on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for each division. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. Each coach also voted for one team as an overall conference champion.

VOLUNTEERS ON THE TUBEThe Volunteer baseball team will be featured
