They can flip for the better or the worse, so that's something that's got to keep you working. “This is an unbelievable environment, and for our guys to come in and throw some punches and continue to chip in some runs there late to give our pitchers some breathing room is a really good sign for this club. ” A series fianale between the Vols and Bulldogs is slated for 2 p.
