On to the NCAA's with some rest for UT

Couple of defensive flubs.  Bloop double that gave up two runs, probably should have been caught.

But whatever, Vols are in the NCAA.   :thumbup:

Is Omaha in the cards? I guess it always is if the ball bounces your way. Let's hope it does?

I'd say getting out of the regional's is very slim but making the SECT and the NCAA's is a huge improvement and the program is going in the right direction......Now if only our football program could beat Vandy and get to a bowl. :powert:

Not likely.  Not enough offense and outside of a couple of guys, the pitching staff has just been too inconsistent.  Plus the status of Garrett Crochet is still up in the air.  He had surgery to repair a broken jaw on Saturday.  Word is they are trying to see if he can pitch with a protective mask, but that's just an iffy proposition. 

Right now UT is projected as a 3 seed in either the Greeneville, NC or Raleigh regions.  The host team has huge advantages in a regional. 

Right now projections:

Greenville:

1. ECU
2. Duke
3. UT
4. Winthrop

Raleigh:

1. NCSU
2. WbygawdVA
3. UT
4. Campbell Fightin' Camels

I'd take the Greenville region and run with it if I had my choice, but either way it's going to be tough to come out of a region with a 3 seed. 

And on WVA, they have 2 junior starters who have sub 2.00 ERAs and average over a stikeout and a half per inning.  One is a right hander who is projected to go by the 10 pick in the first round of the draft in a couple of weeks, and the other a projected round 5-7 pick.  It's a pick your poison thing there om the first game.
