Tennessee Baseball vs. South Carolina Score, Updates SEC Tournament | Rocky Top Insider
SCORE: Tennessee 0, South Carolina 0 | PREGAME
***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 ONE RECAP: Tennessee Baseball Wins Back-And-Forth Series Opener At Oklahoma
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.

- D1 Baseball: No. 23 (NR)
- USA Today Coaches Poll: No. 25 (NR)

- 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.

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.
Uniforms
Tennessee: Orange tops, white pants
South Carolina: TBD

Brody Trosclair has committed to Tennessee baseball as a transfer from Northwestern State, he announced on Instagram on Monday.
Trosclair was on Tennessee’s campus for an official visit on Sunday. Trosclair took visits to Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida and LSU. Ole Miss was also in the picture before he committed to the Vols and coach Josh Elander.
Trosclair shined as a freshman at Northwestern State with a 5-1 record and a 1.89 ERA in 10 appearances with four starts. The southpaw logged 38 innings of work, struck out 55 and walked 11. Opponents tallied a .222 batting average against him. The freshman allowed just eight extra base hits in 2026.
Trosclair was named the 2026 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Southland Conference Pitcher. The pitcher was unscored upon in his first five relief appearances and did not allow an earned run in 13.2 innings of relief work.
He suffered a season-ending injury in April. He is not eligible for the MLB Draft until 2028.
Trosclair becomes the second transfer portal commit of the cycle for the Vols, joining Mercer two-way player Braydon Kersey.
Trosclair is one of the top-ranked players in the portal. The transfer portal officially opened on June 1 and Trosclair announced his intentions to enter on the first day.

The City of Franklin has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2026 honor by Tennessean. This list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures the employee experience and its component themes, including employees feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to, to name a few. City honored with Top Workplace in 2023 as well.

More than 90% of employees participated in the survey. The results showed that 88% believe their teams work well together, 88% are satisfied with their jobs, and 83% feel they are part of something meaningful. Those numbers matter because communities are strongest when the people serving them care about the work they do. When teams work well together, projects move forward. When employees find purpose in their jobs, they look for solutions. When people believe their work matters, residents often experience better service, stronger connections, and a community that continues moving forward while holding on to what makes it special.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”
“Having a great positive workplace culture is one of our highest priorities of our City leadership team,” said Eric Stuckey. “Our employees are the most valuable assets we have in the city and their exceptional service to the community is well appreciated by our community. I am genuinely proud to lead a team of this caliber that delivers for the citizens of Franklin every day. We have some of the finest public servants in the nation”
