The Vols scored 3 in the B1.
A&M is batting, T3.
It's 3-0 UT right now.
Edit: The Vols collected 12 hits and 13 walks (also 4 hit batters if my memory is correct), and gave up 4 hits and 3 walks to A&M.
UT hosts LSU this weekend. The Friday night game will be shown on ESPNU, and the Saturday night and Sunday afternoon games will be on the SEC Network.

Tears walked to lead off the B3, and is immediately lifted for a pinch runner (Colby Backus). Backus stole 2B Bargo walked (runners on 1B and 2B, no outs) Ensley will see a new pitcher; Ensley flies out to CF and Backus tags up and advances to 3B, one out Peebles walked, loading the bases Lohry walked, 4-0 Vols (to this point, UT only has 2 hits, but 6 walks) Antigua K's, 2 outs Moore doubles to RF, driving in 3 runs; it's 7-0 Vols, and Moore is lifted for Camden Bates to PR Burke lifted for PH Hunter High, who K's to end the 3rd inning.
The Vols add 4 runs, and we head to the T4, 7-0 UT.

By the way, Dylan Loy started on the mound for UT In the 2nd inning, JJ Garcia took over Marcus Phillips pitched the 3rd (walking two) Matthew Dallas has taken the hill to start the 4th inning.
Edit: Matthew Dallas didn't have a great inning, giving up 2 runs, 7-2 Vols.
And while I love that Vitello uses games like this to get some meaningful experience for backups and younger guys, he has benched all but one starter (Ensley). Either they weren't in the game from the beginning, or they have been lifted. And this is before we came to bat in the 4th.

B4:
Villenueve singles, takes 2B on a balk, 3B on a WP Backus walks Payne is up, and another balk scores Villenueve and moves Backus to 2B - 8-2 Vols Backus steals 3B Payne walks Chuckie Tater and his .071 batting average send Ensley to the showers Taylor singles to LF, scoring Backus, and it's 9-2 Vols, while Taylor's average jumps to .133 (he only as 15 AB's, in fairness) Peebles singles, and it's 10-2 as Payne scores; runners on the corner and no outs yet, 3 runs in so far Lohry is up, but Peebles is gunned at 2B on a steal attempt Lohry flies out to RF, and Taylor can't tag and score from 3B Antigua pops out to 2B to end the inning
The Vols plate 3 and lead, 10-2.

Those other kids gotta get some PT. Yes, of course. And these are the games you do that in.

Austin Hunley takes the mound for UT in T5.

Hunley kept A&M off the board in T5.
B5: Bates walked High walked Villenueve HBP Backus walked - 11-2 Vols.
Alabama A&M is not a strong pitching team. The Vols have 6 hits and 11 walks to this point.
Payne K's Bases are still loaded, 1 out Taylor grounds into a DP to end the inning. The Vols have a bad habit this season and last of coming up empty too often when the bases are full and there are no outs.
We move to the T6, Vols up 11-2.

Brady Robertson is in to pitch the 6th for UT. I've only heard the name, and I think he has pitched less than 3 innings on the season.

B6, and I have been on a call so I'm just catching up:
The Vols loaded the bases on two walks and a single in between them Chapman scored on a passed ball (12-2 Vols) Bates hit a three run homer (15-2 Vols) Hunger High singled up the middle
At this point, assuming the teams have agreed to the 10 run rule, the Vols can close this out in the T7, but in the meantime they may tack on some more runs.

Picking back up in the B6, with 4 runs already in and no outs:
After High singles, Villenueve flies out to RF Backus hits a two run homer (17-2) Payne singles Taylor pops out to SS Chapman HBP Lohry HBP Antigua doubles to CF, scoring 3 (20-2, Vols) Bates flies out to RF to end the 6th, mercifully.
The Vols score 9 more runs to lead after 6 complete, 20-2.
