Tennessee baseball head coach Josh Elander met with the media following the Vols’ 16-15 series-sweeping loss to Vanderbilt Sunday in Nashville.
Elander discussed how his team needs to respond after such a tough loss, what was different about Evan Blanco early, if Trent Grindlinger has earned more opportunities, what led to improved success for Blaine Brown and more.
Watch Elander’s entire post-game press conference below.
“It’s a gutting, gutting game,” Elander said. “Tough, tough weekend. And our guys just need to get back off the mat. There’s plenty of conference play left, and we can talk about being in these games, but you got a five-run lead in the ninth – you got to attack the strike zone and go do it.

“Better response from our offense today. We’re far from playing anywhere near our best baseball. Got four games at home next week and we just need to get going because it ain’t going to be any easier. That’s the part of this league. Our guys will and can respond.”
