Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello, outfielder Hunter Ensley and designated hitter Griffin Merritt met with the media following the Vols’ 6-3 loss to LSU on Saturday night.
The trio talked about what LSU’s ace Paul Skenes was doing so well on the mound and how they plan to bounce-back for Monday’s elimination game against Stanford.
Tennessee tried to mount a comeback in the eighth inning, scoring three runs via a Maui Ahuna RBI single and two-run homer from Hunter Ensley.
However, LSU added an insurance run in the bottom of the frame with a homer against Hollis Fanning and Tennessee was unable to get anything going in the ninth.
Tennessee will be back in action Monday at 2 p.m. ET against Stanford in the elimination game in Charles Schwab Field.
