Cam Appenzeller could be difference for Tennessee baseball after stunning start
Freshman Cam Appenzeller looked comfortable in his first career SEC start, which came in Tennessee baseball's SEC Tournament win vs. South Carolina.
HOOVER, AL – It was the biggest start of Cam Appenzeller ’s career. Not that there was much competition. The Tennessee baseball freshman's start against South Carolina was his first against an SEC team and only the second of his career.
The other lasted only 14 pitches. But when Appenzeller took the mound at the Hoover Met , he was unfazed. The lefthander struck out the first two batters he faced in a perfect first inning, then retired the side in order again in the second.
Appenzeller settled in fast and met the moment as the No. 10 seed Vols beat No. 15 seed South Carolina , 11-6, on May 19 to set up a second-round matchup with No.
7 seed Arkansas (36-19) on May 20 (5:30 p. m. ET, SEC Network).
