KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee baseball will play Campbell on Saturday for their second game in the NCAA Tournament.
The overall one-seed Vols advanced to the winners' side of the Regional after a 10-0 win over Alabama State on Friday evening.
Campbell also made it to the winners' side of the bracket after beating Georgia Tech 15-8 on Friday.
Both teams come into this game as the top 10 in the nation in home runs. Tennessee ranks first in that category.
Tennessee will start pitcher Chase Dollander. Catcher Charlie Taylor is expected to start in place of Evan Russell for the second straight game. Vitello said after the game on Friday that Russell is sick and didn't give a timetable for his return.
Whoever wins will lock themselves in the Regional championship game at 7 p.m. with a chance to move on to the Super Regionals needing just one win to do so.
The loser will play in an elimination game on Sunday at 2 p.m. with hopes of making the Regional Championship later in the day with a win in that game.
Game time between Tennessee and Campbell is at 7 p.m. and will be broadcasted on SEC Network.
