Tennessee breezed past South Carolina on Wednesday night
, kicking of the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama. The Volunteers rode their white hot offense once again, scoring 11 runs on their way to ending the Gamecocks’ season.Josh Elander’s group advances to face Arkansas, which landed the No. 7 seed in the field. The two teams did not meet in the regular season, but have built up a bit of a rivalry over the past several seasons. Arkansas went 36-19 overall this season with a 17-13 mark in SEC play.
Arkansas will start right-handed pitcher Tate McGuire against Tennessee. McGuire holds a 1-0 record and a 4.61 ERA spread across 41 innings. Tennessee will counter with Evan Blanco, who is 7-3 on the year with a 4.56 ERA. This will be Blanco’s 15th start of the year.
The weather is dicey, to say the least. Rain chances sit around 50 percent for the majority of the afternoon and they only get worse as we get into the night. We could very well see delays throughout the rest of the day.
The winner of this one will face Texas next.
