Tennessee baseball head coach Josh Elander met with the media following the Vols’ 13-5 series-salvaging win over Ole Miss Sunday in Knoxville.
Elander shared his thoughts on the explosion at the plate, particularly Blake Grimmer’s big day, Evan Blanco’s outing on the mound, the importance of achieving a series-savaging win and more.
Watch Elander’s entire post-game press conference below.
“I thought it was huge, and I kind of joked with them that I guess they saved all of them for today. ‘They can count the same on any day’ is what I told them. It was really cool to see Henry Ford and Reese (Chapman), and just a bunch of guys having quality at-bats and using the whole field. (Blake) Grimmer beating a cutter, Levi (Clark)… what a day he had.

“We’ve always talked about being more capable. The thing in this league – Mississippi’s pitching staff, that’s as good I think we’ve seen so far just with raw stuff and what they’re able to do. Even their starter today (Taylor Rabe), I thought he was really good – I know we tagged him for 5 (runs) there – but it’s a really good sign for our group and that’s what we’re capable of. Now we need to make sure that we get there more often than not.”
