Doyle (10-3) pitched 6.2 innings and recorded 11 strikeouts versus the Redhawks. He totaled 104 pitches, including 69 strikes, against 26 batters. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound junior allowed four hits (two doubles), one run and three walks. He forced Miami into two fly outs, six ground outs and one double play.
"It was huge," Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello said of Doyle's pitching performance to open the Knoxville Regional. "It is a tournament. I mean, it's really a fresh start to the whole deal. There's a lot of information from the games we played prior, but none of them really matter. It is about tonight, or at least was, but you do have a tournament, again, you're in the middle of.
"For him to do that, not only, I'm sure he feels good about, and it helped capitalize on the runs we were scoring in the middle of the game, but put us in a good position with our bullpen."
