Tennessee baseball head coach met with the media following the Vols’ 3-2 series-opening win over Vanderbilt Friday in Knoxville.
Vitello discussed Hunter Ensley’s heroics, Liam Doyle’s incredible start and more.
Watch Vitello’s entire post-game press conference below.
“Hunter’s catch itself was a game saver,” Vitello said about Hunter Ensley’s catch at the wall that robbed a two-run homer in the seventh inning. “That’s the only way really to describe it. It was earlier in the game against North Carolina [’24 CWS] when he did what he did, but that game was real tight, too.
“So, you look back on it, it was a game influencer. But I think that one was kind of more of a game saver, more than anything. Was fitting that he caught the last out.”
