"I think you always get a little greedy as far as getting guys at-bats and utilizing guys, but I think you know you also are looking to find out as much about your team before conference play rolls around, and we did that based off the competition we had to face," Vitello said. "The circumstances we were in, and certainly the setting of playing in this big league ballpark, in front of fans, and media attention, and things like that."
The Vols will next play on Tuesday against Radford at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, opening a 10-game home stand. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. EST (SEC Network+).
