No. 17 Tennessee Baseball (40-12, 15-11 seconds) is on Thursday evening in the first games in Fayetteeville, Arkansas, in the game of the first three-game series in Fayetteeville, 15-11 seconds.

The first pitch in the Walker Stadium tree takes place at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

A complete preview of the series, including projected pitching matchups and a prediction, click here.

Tennessee enters the last series of the regular season, which has to struggle in the second game. The Vols lost four series in a row and five of their last six, four of whom came at home.

The crime did not fulfill its potential while the Bullpen was shaky and the defense was bad.

With the latest fights, Tennessee probably has to win the series this weekend to organize a NCAA region. If Tennessee only gains a game that is the most likely result, the VONS need a really strong run in the Sec tournament to improve their hosting opportunities.

At the Vanderbilt series, Tennessee fell even further in 17th place in the latest D1 Baseball Top 25.

Tennessee will look a little different this season than at any other series start, since Marcus Phillips begins with the hill over Liam Doyle, who will start on Friday. This should keep Doyle on Fridays in his regular routine with pitching.

Phillips has to struggle in the run game this season and was an important factor in Tennesse's second defeat against Vanderbilt last week. For the first time this season, Tony Vitello pressed considerable frustration over the inability of Phillips to limit the opposing team's run game.

While Vitello was interrupted in the start -up trotation in the starting trotation at the beginning of the week, the hard -over -thrown right will actually make the ball opened the series.

Opponent Scout

Arkansas had a strong start to the season when he had lost only one game before the SEC game started. The conference game was for the Razorbacks Topsy Turvy, losing four of their last five series after winning their first four season series.

When Arkansa's series has won, they almost always swept. The razorbacks have a series swepeps against South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Missouri and the most impressive Texas two weeks ago in Fayetteeville.

Arkansas' crime has a serious pop that took the seventh and third place in the SC percentage. The Aloy brothers led the way for Arkansas' crime. Wehiwa Aloy is a candidate of the SEC player of the year and occurs at the weekend with 17 homes, 16 doubles and 54 RBIs. Kuhio Aloy meets 13 Home Runs, 14 doubles and 66 RBIs .356.

Five Arkansas players have double-digit Homeruns this season with seven players who meet over eight Homeruns. Charles Davalan meets 13 Home Runs .349, while Cam Kozeal meets 12 Homeruns .340.

Arkansas's pitching rod is in the Sec with 3.96 team era. Dylan Carter (2.23 ERA in 32.1 IP) and Aidan Jimenez (2.51 ERA in 32.1 IP) were the upper arms in Arkansas' Bullpen.

The Vols will try to end their recent battles against the Razorbacks this week. UT against Arkansas was the last series victory in 2005, while the last series victory in Fayetteeville 2001 was Pro UT. Tennesses single victory over the pigs under the head Tony Vitello was an 8: 7 victory at home in the second game of the 2021 series.

Notes for injuries/availability

In the second game against Kentucky a foul ball unfortunately met Tennessee Relief Pitcher Tanner Wiggins in the mouth. Tony Vitello said that there were teeth that were involved in Wiggins' injury, and the second year was then operated on his jaw.

UNC Transfer First Baseman Alberto Osuna does not remain eligible.
- But two montages ago, Osuna once again initiated legal steps that still applied for the authorization. Read more here.
