The Tennessee Volunteers are set to play their first game against the Arkansas Razorbacks in the super regionals ahead of Omaha. The Vols will look to get off to a great start, as they will be starting Marcus Phillips in the first game against the Hogs.

Phillips had a solid outing against the Razorbacks in the regular season, as he picked up the win for the Vols. In that game, Phillips had only three strikeouts but gave up only three runs.

It’s Marcus Phillips day!
