Following the Vols' win over Cincinnati on Saturday, eighth-year Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello discussed advancing to a regional title game.
"It's nice to have donors, alumni, fans and administration that are very supportive of our team," Vitello said. "I recycled a message nonstop about this weekend: embrace the chaos, because it is that time of year. I don't know that this game was more chaotic than the one before us, but both were kind of what you'd expect, all hands on deck, as it relates to pitchers, and a lot of good swings out of all four teams.
"Fortunate at the end of the day to be one of the teams that was able to win."
