Title: Baseball just clinched their first SEC series of the year over SC 5-2

…and will go for the sweep tomorrow.

Our closer Redmond Walsh recorded his 2nd save. That number seems suspect for an 18-1 team, until you remember that it’s only a save when the winning margin is 3 runs or less, and we’ve been blowing everyone out by double-digits.  :naughty:

TV is gonna do great things here, I think. Hopefully we can hold on to him for years to come.

Pitching has been pretty darn good, and we are still missing our top 2 returning arms
Offense, simply outstanding :powert:

I’m thinking the offense will come back to earth somewhat as we get into SEC play, but the pitching is better than last year. We have 4-5 guys who can run it up at 100+. :crazy:

I had no clue our pitching would be this good. My goodness this squad is fun.

Drew Beam’s stat line looked like Maddux today.
7.2 ip, 0 runs, 1 hit (and it was questionable- hometown scorer probably should’ve ruled it an error), 67 strikes, 19 balls. :wow:

Vols lead 8-0 in the 8th.

The real gauntlet begins next weekend at Vandy.

I just learned his name is pronounced Vie-tello. Did not know that. Pretty good hire by John Currie  :crazy:

Oh, Ben Joyce's final two pitches to close out today's game:

99 mph breaking ball
104 mph gas

I'm not sure which is more impressive. :wow:
