May 30, 2025 | Baseball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – No. 14 Tennessee opened its NCAA regional slate with a convincing 9-2 victory over Miami University on Friday night at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
The Volunteers got a vintage performance on the mound from junior lefty Liam Doyle and had contributions up and down the lineup to win their 13 straight NCAA regional game.
The Derry, New Hampshire, native has recorded double-digit strikeouts nine different times this season and is one punchout away from tying Luke Hochevar's single-season program record of 154.
Reese Chapman led all players with three RBIs, including a solo home run to open the scoring in the bottom of the second inning.
Gavin Kilen, Hunter Ensley and Cannon Peebles all had a pair of hits as UT made life extremely difficult on Redhawks' starting pitcher Cooper Katskee.
The sophomore righthander was handed just his second loss of the year after allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and four walks over 3.1 innings.
The Vols have now win 13 straight NCAA regional games overall and 17 in a row at home. UT's last regional loss at home came back in 2001 against Wake Forest.
