The rivalry between Tennessee and Vanderbilt is well-known, and it has grown fiercer in recent years, especially with the Volunteers’ success under Tony Vitello.
The two teams are facing off in a decisive series on Sunday. Tennessee won the series opener 3-2, but Vanderbilt leveled it with a 10-6 victory in Game 2.
Vanderbilt took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Tennessee quickly responded with Andrew Fischer’s towering home run, sparking excitement. Unsurprisingly, the Commodores weren’t pleased with Fischer’s celebration, and tensions flared, leading to a discussion between Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin and the umpire.
In response, the umpires issued a warning to both teams to keep things in check for the rest of the game.
The action has been non-stop since Fischer’s homer. Vanderbilt regained the lead 2-1 in the second inning, but Tennessee quickly answered in the bottom half.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting finale for the series.
