Game three between Tennessee Baseball (13-3) and Morehead State (9-6) is set to begin at 5:10 p.m. ET on Saturday in Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The game will serve as game two of a doubleheader between the Vols and the Eagles. Tennessee won the first game of the doubleheader with a series-clinching 6-0 win.
SECN+ has the call for the game. Reminder that the online broadcasts can be accessed on any mobile device through WatchESPN. WatchESPN can be accessed through the ESPN App, or online at espn.com/watch.
Incoming inclement weather on Sunday was the cause for the schedule change to a doubleheader.
