defeated state of mind. But over Vitello’s first two seasons, the culture of Tennessee baseball shifted thanks to players like Russell, new freshmen, and on-field performance. Vitello and the Vols triumphed over the Aggies in a significant SEC series seven years before to Tennessee’s victory against Texas A&M in the College World Series championship game. In Knoxville, Tennessee defeated No. 14 Texas A&M two games to one. It was the first rated series victory in Tennessee baseball’s newest era and the second of the Vols’ three SEC series victories in Vitello’s first season as head coach. Tennessee was predicted by the SEC coaches to finish last in the conference in 2018, however the Vols moved from 8-22 a year prior to 12-18 in Vitello’s first season. Tennessee was a long way from where they needed to be, but it was step forward in year one.
