Tennessee Baseball (15-4) will take on the Missouri Tigers (14-3) on Sunday in Columbia, Missouri, for game two of the three-game series and game one of a Sunday doubleheader.
Weather caused Saturday’s game between the Vols and Tigers to get postponed, and now Tennessee is playing a doubleheader for the second consecutive weekend.
First pitch for game one of the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m. ET, and game two is set for 5 p.m. ET. SECN+ will have the stream for both games. 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.
The Vols got blown out in game one of the series on Friday afternoon, losing 9-1. A recap of the loss along with what Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello had to say is here.
Tennessee is yet to lose a true weekend series yet this season, so the Vols must win both games today to keep their series-winning streak alive.
