The No. 1 Tennessee baseball team is aiming for a fourth consecutive regional title as they open against No. 4 Northern Kentucky in the Knoxville Regional on Friday. The team, with a record of 50-11, will face tough competition from No. 2 Southern Miss and No. 3 Indiana in their bracket. The Knoxville Regional is paired with the Greenville Regional, with East Carolina as the host. The winners of both regionals will meet in the super regional round in early June.
Tennessee has hosted a regional for the third time in the past four seasons and looks to build on their recent success. The team has made five straight NCAA Tournament appearances under Vitello, with a breakthrough in 2019 and a College World Series appearance in 2021. The Vols come into the postseason after sweeping the SEC titles for the second time in three seasons, earning at least 50 wins for the third time in the past four seasons.
The regional schedule includes games on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and potentially Monday if necessary. Fans can catch all the action on various TV networks.
