***SCROLL DOWN FOR LIVE AT-BAT BY AT-BAT FEED***
No. 23 Tennessee baseball (37-19, 15-15 SEC) is set to battle the South Carolina Gamecocks (22-34, 7-23 SEC) Tuesday in the first round of the SEC Tournament. The game serves as the third game in Hoover overall.
First pitch at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium is at 5:30 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
Vanderbilt-Kentucky 12-13 game is running long. The Tennessee game will start afterward. Official start time TBD.
Tennessee enters the SEC Tournament playing its best baseball of the season. The Vols are coming off back-to-back series wins over (then) Top-5 Texas and Oklahoma on the road.

GAME TWO RECAP: Tennessee Baseball Outlasts Oklahoma To Claim Weekend Series
GAME THREE RECAP: Tennessee Baseball’s Comeback Bid Falls Short in Game Three Loss to Oklahoma
Since the Mississippi State series opener, Tennessee’s offense has been good to great, with only four bad performances across the 18 contests.
While hosting a regional is a long shot, Tennessee could position itself to enter the conversation with an SEC Tournament Finals appearance. As the 10-seed in the tournament, the Vols would need to win four games to make it to Sunday.
BRACKETOLOGY: Where Tennessee Baseball Is Projected In Field of 64 Brackets Ahead Of SEC Tournament
While Tennessee is playing its best ball of the season, the injury bug has begun to hit the Vols over the last couple of weeks.
Starting pitcher Landon Mack has been dealing with arm soreness and missed the last two series. His status is ‘day-to-day’ in the SEC Tournament and he is on the travel roster, but it remains to be seen when or if Mack will return this season.
Monday, star senior outfielder Reese Chapman took a line drive off the face and is out Tuesday against South Carolina. His Hoover status is in question, and the Vols hope to at least have one of their best bats back for the start of the NCAA Tournament.
INJURY: Tennessee Baseball OF Reese Chapman Suffers Injury Ahead Of SEC Tournament
If Tennessee beats South Carolina, the Vols will advance to play 7-seed Arkansas Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. ET. If Tennessee makes it through Wednesday, UT advances to Friday to battle Texas at 4 p.m. ET.
Take a look at the full bracket for the 2026 SEC Tournament below.
HOOVER: Full SEC Baseball Tournament Bracket, Action Begins on Tuesday
Opponent Scout
South Carolina is the 15-seed in the tournament. The two sides haven’t played this season.
The Gamecocks just got swept by Vanderbilt. After firing head coach Paul Manieri a little before the halfway point of SEC play, South Carolina gained some momentum but that is not the case entering what will likely be its final game in 2026. The Gamecocks have lost 10 straight SEC games and been swept in each of the past three series.
SC owns a series sweep over Missouri and has been swept six times.

Prediction:
Tennessee beats one of the worst teams in the league and advances to Wednesday to battle Arkansas.
Offense continues to roll and Appenzeller isn’t amazing but builds off a positive relief outing last Thursday in Oklahoma.

RF Nate Eisfelder (R)
2B Jay Abernathy (L)
Lineup Notes:
- NO Reese Chapman as he manages an injury after taking a line drive to the face in practice Monday.
- Clark behind the plate to open the SEC Tournament. NO Stone Lawless.
- Jay Abernathy gets the second base nod with Grimmer sliding over to first.

SS KJ Scobey
C Talmadge LeCroy
DH Jake Randolph
1B Will Craddock
LF Ethan Lizama
RF Luke Yuhasz
3B Dawson Harman
CF Tyler Bak
Pitching Matchup:
Vols Fr. LHP Cam Appenzeller (5-1, 4.84 ERA, 17 app., 1 start, 1 SV, 48.1 IP, 42 H, 26 R, 26 ER, 12 BB, 54 K, 13 XBH, .236 opp. batting avg., 1.12 WHIP)
vs.
Gamecocks Jr. RHP Brandon Stone (5-4, 4.64 ERA, 16 app., 9 starts, 66.0 IP, 77 H, 37 R, 34 ER, 19 BB, 55 K, 24 XBH, .294 opp. batting avg.)
Pitching Notes:
- Appenzeller’s second start of the season. He started a midweek in a 1.0-inning opener role previously.
- Appenzeller is coming off a solid relief appearance in the Vols’ series-opening win at Oklahoma. 2 R in 2.2 IP on 42 pitches.
- It was a bounce back from several poor outings in a row from the freshman at the pen. Starting with the Ole Miss outing, he hit a freshman wall that included four consecutive below average to awful outings.
- Appenzeller will be used as a true starter Tuesday in all likelihood with Tennessee hoping he can give them a true, quality start.

Tennessee: Orange tops, white pants
South Carolina: TBD

A Tennessee fugitive who was accused of rape and fled to Alaska was arrested in Ketchikan on Saturday, U.S. Marshals say.
Michael Shane Vaughan, 46, was arrested with the help of the Ketchikan Police Department early Saturday, Deputy U.S. Marshal Christian Marrero said in an emailed statement.
Vaughan was wanted by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department on two counts of rape, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. He was last seen in Nashville in September of last year after the incident, U.S. Marshals said.
On Friday, the U.S. Marshals Middle Tennessee Fugitive Task Force asked for the public’s help in locating Vaughan, saying he may be in Alaska because he previously told relatives he would flee to the state, where he has ties and previously live.
It’s unclear how police learned Vaughan was in Ketchikan or what he was doing in Southeast Alaska.
Marrero didn’t immediately respond to questions on Saturday morning about the arrest and what led to it.
Vaughan was jailed at the Ketchikan Correctional Center as of Saturday morning, according to an online jail roster.
U.S. Marshals said he would remain in custody until extradited to Tennessee.

A Tennessee woman was arrested this week after authorities said she tried to drown one of her children in a backyard swimming pool.
Mikaylee Rae Beirne, 31, of Johnson City, was charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect following the July 15 incident, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
Washington County Sheriff Keith Sexton said deputies responded to a disturbance at a home on Cochran Road around 5 p.m.

Witnesses told deputies Beirne was in the backyard pool with multiple children while another adult was inside the home.
According to investigators, one of the children ran inside to alert the adult that Beirne was allegedly forcing another child underwater.
The adult rushed to the pool and demanded that Beirne release the child, but she refused, authorities said.

The children were taken inside the home while emergency personnel were called. Authorities said the child suffered minor injuries and bruising.
