'We know what kind of game it's going to be' - Vanderbilt is ready for showdown with a Tennessee team that will be out for revenge

After winning the series against Tennessee, the Vanderbilt social media team did a couple of victory laps. 

The game on Saturday should certainly be intense. And the Vols will undoubtedly be out for revenge against the Commodores.

Vanderbilt, however, is preparing for that kind of game. 

"Going off the last time we played them, just keeping the emotions intact," said Vandy LHP JD Thompson on his message to his teammates. "We know what kind of game it's going to be. It's always going to be a good game with those guys.

"Just staying with ourselves and not trying to let certain situations get the best of us or let emotions kind of get too high. I think with just playing the ball that we're playing, pitchers giving us innings and the hitters are banging like they are, I know we have a pretty good chance."

It should be a chippy affair on Saturday afternoon in Hoover. 

First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET.
