Tennessee baseball’s pursuit of another trip to the College World Series begins against Charlotte.
The No. 2 seed Vols face (38-19) No. 3 Charlotte (34-26) on Friday (6 p.m. ET, ESPNU) in the Clemson Regional. No. 1 Clemson (43-17) and No. 4 Lipscomb (36-24) are on the opposite side of the NCAA regional bracket.
The Vols are starting Andrew Lindsey, who pitched at Charlotte in the 2021 season.
Tennessee reached the College World Series in 2021 for the first time since 2005. UT fell a game shy of back-to-back trips to Omaha when it lost in the Knoxville Super Regional against Notre Dame in the 2022 season.
SUPER: So you’re saying there’s a chance? How Tennessee baseball could play in Knoxville again.

Ninth inning
Charlotte 9th: Hollis Fanning works through a one-out single to end the game.

Charlotte 6th: Andrew Lindsey works around a single to work a clean 6th inning. He’s at 99 pitches. If that’s his last batter, he was very good tonight. 6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 BB and 8 Ks.
Fifth inning
Tennessee 5th: Charlotte’s Clark Dearman is the pitcher, and it’s the first inning of the day in which Tennessee does not score. 1-2-3 5th for the Vols.

First inning
Tennessee 1st: Christian Moore belts a two-out, 2-RBI double to the right center gap. Tennessee 2, Charlotte 0.
