Tennessee and Cincinnati baseball will face each other for a 28th time<\/a> Saturday. The Vols (44-16) are a No. 14 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, while Cincinnati is a No. 3 seed in the Knoxville Regional<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tennessee and Cincinnati both won opening games Friday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium<\/a>, advancing to Saturday’s winner’s bracket. First pitch between the Vols and Bearcats is scheduled for 6 p.m. EDT and can be watched on SEC Network+.<\/p>\n

Tennessee leads the baseball series, 22-5, against Cincinnati all time. The series dates to April 21, 1906. The Vols and Bearcats last played in 2018 during Tony Vitello’s<\/a> first season as Tennessee’s head coach.<\/p>\n

Tennessee completed a three-game series sweep, March 9-11, 2018, at Marge Schott Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.<\/p>\n

The Vols won the series opener, 3-2 in 12 innings. Freshman left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet<\/a> made his first career start in Tennessee’s win at Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Crochet pitched eight innings and recorded eight strikeouts, while totaling 100 pitches. He allowed five hits, two runs (one earned) and zero walks against 31 batters.<\/p>\n

Crochet was selected by the White Sox<\/a> in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft (No. 11 overall). The former Vol was traded<\/a> to Boston ahead of the 2025 MLB season.<\/p>\n
