Precision Pitching
The Vols' pitching staff has been every bit as impressive as the offense so far this season, leading the SEC in ERA (1.42), strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.26), WHIP (0.83) and walks allowed per nine innings (1.92).

Over five games last week, UT's pitching staff posted a 1.00 ERA and allowed just six runs (five earned) over 45.0 innings. The staff held opposing hitters to a .184 batting average and had 43 strikeouts while issuing just six walks.

The bullpen was even more dominant than the starting pitching, allowing just two runs and one walk while striking out 23 batters in 26.1 innings pitched. In UT's series sweep of George Washington, the bullpen did not allow a single run or walk in 14.0 innings and racked up nine strikeouts.

Soularie Starting to Heat Up
After a slow start to the season, Tennessee preseason All-American Alerick Soularie has started to heat up over the past few games. The Houston native ranked second on the team with a .412 batting average last week, racking up seven hits, five runs scored, two homers and five RBI.
