Although the Vols were able to generate a respectable 41 baser- unners against the talented Commodore pitching staff, they had trouble coming up with the big hit needed to bring them around the basepaths, finishing just 2-for-48 at the plate with runners on base, including a 1-for-20 mark with runners in scoring position. Over the course of the three games, the Big Orange had its leadoff hit- ter reach base 16 times in 27 total innings, but just three of those runners were able to score. A bright spot for Tennessee was the play of a trio of underclassmen in freshmen Ethan Bennett and Andrew Toles and sopho- more Drew Steckenrider. Those three players combined for 13 of the team's 19 hits on the weekend, including five from Bennett and four each from Toles and Steckenrider. SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS The Bulldogs dropped a pair of 5-4 contests in a rare Saturday twinbill at home to Alabama last weekend but claimed the Sunday finale 8-5 to stay within two games of first place in the SEC Western Division race. The three-game series had a running time of nine hours and 24 minutes played over a 27-hour span. State out-hit the Tide .327 to .291 and slugged five home runs on the weekend, two by senior outfielder Jaron Shepherd. Shepherd (.290) paced State at the plate going 5-for-8 (.625) with one double and his first two home runs of the year. Junior relief pitcher Caleb Reed (0-1, 1.00) absorbed his first loss of the season and saw his impressive run of consecutive scoreless innings pitched halted at 17.1 innings. It was the only run allowed by Reed in three weekend relief appearances (2.2 innings), the last earning him his team-leading eighth save. Senior third baseman Jarrod Parks (.406) collected four hits on the weekend, maintaining his SEC-leading batting average and extending his current hitting streak to 16 games, the longest by a Bulldog since 2007 (Brandon Turner).

Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh is in his fourth season at Rocky Top after guiding his alma mater, Western Carolina, for eight seasons. While at UT, Raleigh has had 12 players drafted, including two in 2008 and five more in both 2009 and 2010, and two more sign free-agent contracts following the completion of their eligibility. Nine of those players were drafted in the top-20
rounds, highlighted by 2009 first-round selection Kentrail Davis. In 19 seasons as a collegiate coach, Raleigh has now produced a total of 45 MLB draft picks and 63 professional players.
Under Raleigh's guidance, the Vols have steadily moved up in the NCAA RPI in each of the last three sea-sons, improving from 91 in 2008 to 58 in 2009 and 45 in 2010. Over the past two seasons, Raleigh’s squads have belted out 168 round-trippers (87 in 2009, 81 in 2010), good for the second-most prolific two-year period in school history.
During his tenure in Cullowhee, Raleigh’s clubs won two regular-season Southern Conference champion-ships, one Southern Conference tournament title, turned in five top-three league finishes and made a pair of NCAA Regional appearances—reaching the Regional final both times.
His 2007 WCU team posted a winning record against teams in the top 35 of the RPI and earned a rare mid-major at-large bid to the NCAA Championships. The Catamounts were touted by ESPN’s Kyle Peterson as featuring an “SEC-style offense.”
In his 19 seasons as a collegiate assistant or head coach, Raleigh’s teams have finished third or better in their respective league 12 times (63 percent).
Raleigh and his wife, Stephanie, have four children: Caleb John “Cal” (13), Emma Grace (11), Carley Elizabeth (4) and Todd Anthony “T” (1).

Turn up The VOLume ““There is not another person that puts higher
expectations on myself and this program than I do,” UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh said. “There is no doubt in my mind that we have this program headed in the right direction, especially this season. Everyone is on the same page in terms of coming to work every single day with the mindset of getting better. In the long run, that is really the only thing we can control.”
— Head Coach Todd Raleigh
“Since I got here in the fall of 2007, we have improved every aspect of this program, from the facilities, to the Academic Progress Rate to the NCAA RPI. The last piece of the puzzle is putting it all together on the field and getting to the postseason. Has it happened as fast as we would have liked? Most certainly not. I understand the expectations of our fans, and this may sound odd, but I like the fact that some of them aren’t too happy right now. I love that they expect greatness, just like I do. Have there been some extenuating circumstances that have slowed us down a little? Sure, but our goal from day one has been to build a program, not a team. I have no doubt that that stuff is in the past and we are moving forward. We are going to be a national power, no question about that. I am confident that we are headed in the right direction and cannot wait to get this season started.”
— Head Coach Todd Raleigh
“Ash brings a lot of energy and great ideas to our staff, especially with his insight on base running. It is going to be a critical year in that area because of all of the bat changes and he has done a tremendous job revamping our efforts on that part of the game. We stole a lot of bases last year, but I think we are going to step it up another level this season and put a lot of pressure on opposing teams.”
— Head Coach Todd Raleigh
“We have been working on a lot of small ball stuff. We don't have as many power guys, so we have to get back to the basics. A lot of bunting, base running and just small ball stuff. It's not a traditional team like we have had in the past but we are getting use to it. Top to bottom, it's just a group of scrappy guys. We are going to score runs in many different ways and put pres-sure on the other team to make mistakes."
— Senior First Baseman Josh Liles
“Our attitude is one of high intensity. That is one thing that we have focused on in our practices and scrimmages this fall and leading up to the spring. The chemisty on this team is definitely improved over what it has been in the last couple of years. We have a close-knit group and a group of seniors to lead us. We've set the bar high from the very beginning. The SEC Tournament is a bare minimum."

NOTEWORTHYTEAM QUICK HITSuUT is tied for the second-best fielding percent-
age in the SEC at .975 with just 39 errors in the first 42 games of the season.
uTennessee hosted the first ESPNU Thursday Night SEC Game of the Week when South Carolina made the trek to Rocky Top on April 7. The Vols will also played in the second such game at Alabama on April 14.
uUT's 17 outfield assists are the most it has recorded since the statistic was first kept during the 2000 campaign.. Charley Thurber leads the team with six, followed by five by Chris Fritts and three each by Andrew Toles and Chris Pierce.
uAfter starting the season on a roll at the plate, the Vols have hit a rough patch offensively lately. The team batting average topped out at .342 15 games into the year, but has since dropped to .284 as the Big Orange is hitting just .232 in SEC games.
uSeven different UT pitchers have combined to record a total of 11 saves this year, after the entire team had just four in 2010.
uThe Vols have hit six home runs on the first
pitch of an at-bat this season.
uTennessee has struck out just 227 times this season, the second-fewest of any team in the SEC.
uUT's five-game run without an error from 3/25-4/1 was its longest since posting five straight error-less contests from 5/9-5/16 in the 1993 campaign.
uThe Big Orange is currently third in the SEC behind LSU and Arkansas in stolen bases with 75.
uThe contest with Austin Peay on March 16 marked the Orange and White's first road game of the year, as Tennessee opened the 2011 season with 16 straight home games. That is the longest home-stand for the Vols since they played 22 consecutive games in Knoxville to open the 1963 campaign.
INDIVIDUAL QUICK HITSuSenior Josh Liles needs 12 more hits to become
the 15th member of Tennessee's 200-hits club.uWith 18 stolen bases, Andrew Toles has the
fifth-most thefts of any freshman in UT history. Chris Burke ranks fourth with 19 and Lar Gilligan is third with 20.uKhayyan Norfork is 5-for-7 (.714) with the bases

MR. (DEFENSIVE) WIZARDTennessee junior shortstop Zach Osborne has
been put his significant defensive abilities on full display this season, accumulating just seven errors through 42 games.
He has been even more impressive in SEC play, during which he has made just one miscue. That came in the third game of the first league series of the season at Kentucky on March 20. In the 18 SEC games since, Osborne has flawlessly handled all 77 defensive chances that have come his way (29 put-tous, 48 assists).
Osborne has also been the team's top offensive threat in SEC play, hitting at a squad-best .325 clip. Over his three-year collegiate career, he has started 152-of-153 games at shortstop for UT.
GRUVER TABBED TO CAPITAL ONE ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT FIRST TEAM
Tennessee junior starting pitcher Steven Gruver has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District 4 First Team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America. The
Canfield, Ohio, will move on to the national ballot for Academic All-American honors which will be selected later this month
A kinesiology major, Gruver sports a cumulative GPA of 3.78. He is the 10th Volunteer to ever earn academic all-district honors and first since Julio Borbon picked up second-team accolades in 2006. To be nominated for the team, a student-athlete must have a 3.3 or better cumulative GPA and be in their second year of competition and academically at a school.
SIX VOLS ON MLB OPENING DAY ROSTERS A total of six former Vols were on the Opening Day roster of an MLB team, not including members of two coaching staffs. Luke Hochevar became just the third UT player to ever earn the honor of being his team's Opening Day starting pitcher, doing so for this year's Kansas City Royals. The only other two Vols to do so are Tommy Bridges with the Detroit Tigers (1933, 1939 and 1943) and Tommy Smithson with the Texas Rangers (1983). In his first full season in the bigs is Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia. Chase Headley enters his fifth year with the San Diego Padres while Julio Borbon begins his third year with the Texas Rangers. A nine-year MLB veteran, R.A. Dickey is in his second year with the New York Mets, while Todd Helton is the longest-tenured former Vol as he begins his 15th season in a Colorado Rockies uniform.
THE TALENTED MR. NORFORK (FROM RIPLEY) One of the premier hitters in the nation this season, UT senior second baseman Khayyan Norfork has hit safely in 32 of the first 42 games of the 2011 campaign and leads the team with 17 multiple-hit contests. The Ripley, Tenn., native is also tied for 11th in the nation and the SEC lead with 25 stolen bases.
GRUVER SETTING THE TONE ON THE MOUND Junior starting pitcher Steven Gruver has done a fantastic job setting the tone for the UT pitching staff. In his first three starts alone, he led the Vols to a pair of shutouts before tossing a complete game in his fourth start. So far this year, he has struck out 70 and walked just 21 in a team-high 76.1 innings of work, averaging nearly seven innings per start. He went six scoreless against Milwaukee on Opening Day before shutting down Canisius for seven frames on Feb. 26 when he posted a career-high 10 strike-outs. He has now pitched 6.0+ innings 13 times in his career, including 10 of his 11 starts this season.

GRUVER NAMED TO CB360.COM PRIMETIME HONOR ROLL
After firing a four-hit, seven-inning complete game in the first contest of a doubleheader at No. 24 Alabama on April 16, junior southpaw Steven Gruver was named to the CollegeBaseball360.com Primetime Weekly Honor Roll for the second time in his career.
He also earned the honor once last season after logging seven shutout innings at Oregon State.. Against the Tide, the Canfield, Ohio, native struck out five and scattered four hits, all singles, to help the Vols snap a nine-game skid.
Senior third baseman Matt Duffy posted one of the most memorable offensive performances in Tennessee history against New Orleans on March 9, 2011, becoming just the second UT player to ever hit for the cycle. Duffy finished the contest 4-for-6 at the plate with a career-high three runs scored and four RBIs. He had a double in the first inning, a triple in the fourth, his second home run of the season in the fifth and a single in the eighth.

2011 SEC STANDINGSDUFFY LOOKS TO GET BACK ON TRACK A transfer from Vermont, UT senior third base-man Matt Duffy has been one of the team's most consistent players this season, starting all 42 games and hitting .317 in the middle of the lineup. After going hitless in 17 consecutive at-bats recently, he broke out of his slump by going 4-for-9 (.444) in the three-game series at Alabama.. The Milton, Mass., leads the UT squad with 35 RBIs, is tied for the team lead with five home runs and ranks 10th in the league in on-base percentage (.445). He also ranks sixth in the SEC with 10 HBPs. After a slow start in 2010, his first at Tennessee, Duffy picked up the pace at the end of the year, leading the Big Orange with a .348 batting average in SEC play.
CATAPANO HAS SIGHTS SET ON MARINESUnless the option to continue his baseball career
presents itself, Catapano plans on entering Officer Candidates School, a 10-week program in Quantico, Va., designed to train, evaluate and screen can-didates for potential as Marine Corp officers. Graduates of OCC are commissioned immediately upon graduation as Second Lieutenants and sent to The Basic School at Quantico for six months of further training.
RAMSEY ON JOHNNY BENCH AWARD WATCH LIST In his first season as the starting catcher at Tennessee, junior Matt Ramsey has solidified him-self as one of the top catch-and-throw backstops in the country, gunning down 13 of 29 potential baserunners (44.8%). He was recently added to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List, given to the top catcher in the country.
BENNETT OFF TO STRONG START After hitting 27 home runs as a senior at Farragut High School, UT freshman catcher/DH Ethan Bennett has wasted little time adjusting to the college game, as he is tied with senior Matt
Duffy for the team lead with five home runs and is hitting .290 (27-for-93) with 21 RBIs through his first 30 games at Rocky Top. After missing the first two weekends with a hamstring injury, Bennett exploded onto the scene with four home runs in three games. During that stretch, he hitting .583 (7-for-12) with 16 RBIs and six runs scored. Bennett's talent isn't limited to the baseball dia-mond though, as he is also an accomplished musi-cian with the ability to play the guitar, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin and piano.
VOLS OFF AND RUNNING Prior to the season, there was quite a bit of talk about Tennessee implementing a new, more aggressive baserunning philosophy. The Vols have walked-the-walk so far in 2011 as they have record-ed 75 stolen bases in the first 42 games of the season, good for third in the SEC. By comparison, UT had just one more than that in all of 2010 and never got there in 2009 when it had just 39 thefts in 55 games. The new baserunning program was on full dis-play on Feb. 27 against Canisius, when the Big Orange was a near-perfect 9-for-10 on the base-paths, including a pair of double steals and three thefts of third. The last time a Tennessee team had nine stolen bases in one game came against Morehead State on Feb. 8, 2003. UT had been successful in 20 straight stolen base attempts and 29 of 30 tries before having a runner thrown out on March 9. With 25 thefts, senior Khayyan Norfork is tied for the league lead and just shy of the totals for the entire South Carolina (27) and Auburn (30) teams. Not far behind Norfork is speedy freshman Andrew Toles who has the fourth-most stolen bases in the SEC with 18 in 23 attempts. That already bests current Texas Ranger centerfielder Julio Borbon for the fifth-most by a Tennessee freshman.
Former University of Tennessee standout student-athlete and longtime baseball coach Bill Wright passed away on April 21. A Knoxville native, Wright was the starting guard on Tennessee's 1943 SEC Champion basketball squad. Wright, who had a promising career in professional baseball cut short by illness, was baseball and basketball coach at Knoxville West High School before being hired in 1960 by Bowden Wyatt as the first full-time academic advisor at UT. Wright was promoted to head baseball coach at Tennessee in 1963, and compiled an impressive overall record of 408-308-2 (.570) during his 19 years with the Vols. The longest-tenured coach in UT baseball history, Wright's 408 victories were the school record when he retired and that total remains second in program history.

SAVING THE DAY One of the most eye-popping stats for Tennessee this season has come from the back of the team's bullpen. After recording four saves over the course of the entire 2010 campaign, the Vols already have 11 saves in 42 games this season, with seven different pitchers doing the honors no less. Matt Ramsey has three and Zack Godley and Nick Williams have two, while Nick Blount, T.J. Thornton, Levi Dean and Drew Steckenrider each have one. With nine career saves, Ramsey is currently tied with Rich DeLucia (83-86) for the fifth most in Tennessee history.
VOLS MAKING THE GRADE Academics have been a top priority for the Vols since Todd Raleigh arrived in 2008. Proving that point, Tennessee increased its multi-year APR to 936, up from 850 in 2005. That increase represented the largest single-year jump by any team at UT as it had an APR of 898 last year. For the 2009-10 school year alone, the Vol baseball team posted a spectacular 982 APR.
VOLS NOT LISTED IN NOTICE OF ALLEGATIONS The University of Tennessee received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA on Feb. 23. While an examination into potential rules violations by the University of Tennessee baseball program was refer-enced in the initial Letter of Inquiry from the NCAA, there were no alleged violations by the baseball program listed in this Notice.
RALEIGH REACHES CENTURY MARK AT UT With a 7-3 road victory over Lipscomb on March 23, Tennessee head coach Todd Raleigh collected his 100th win at Rocky Top. In his fourth season with the Vols, the UT skipper is now 105-104 (.502). Raleigh becomes just the fourth Tennessee coach to reach that mark in Knoxville, joining John Whited (145 wins/1982-87), Bill Wright (408/1963-81) and Rod Delmonico (699/1990-2007).
SHUTOUT STREAK OVER Prior to its 4-0 victory over Milwaukee on Opening Day (2/18), Tennessee's last shutout came
on March 10, 2007, a span of three years, 11 months and eight days (209 games), when James Adkins and Ryne Simpson combined to blank Siena, 5-0, in Knoxville. It didn't take the Vols to pick up another shut-out as they accomplished the feat once again just a week later against Canisius (2/25), also by a 4-0 score. UT picked up another on March 9 with a 14-0 blanking over New Orleans.
Longest Time Between Shutouts 1. 209 games 3/10/07 (Siena) - 2/18/11 (Mlwaukee) Three years, 11 months, 8 days (1441 days) 2. 84 games 4/30/88 (Auburn) - 3/22/90 (Tusculum) 1 year, 10 months, 22 days (691 days) 3. 74 games 4/17/29 (Hiwassee) - 5/2/47 (Lincoln Memorial) 18 years, 15 days (6589 days) 4. 69 games 5/17/47 (Tenn.

NORFORK EXCELS ON OPENING DAY...AGAIN For the second straight season, Vol second base-man Khayyan Norfork opened the year with a bang. After going 4-for-5 with two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in his UT debut against Xavier in 2010, Norfork kicked off the 2011 campaign with a 2-for-4 effort, knocking in three of the team's four runs against Milwaukee in its 4-0 victory. In his two Opening Day starts combined, Norfork is 6-for-9 (.667) with four RBIs, two stolen bases and two runs scored.
RECORD-SETTING ATTENDANCE ON OPENING WEEKEND
Tennessee set a new school-record for total atten-dance in a home-opening series, drawing 6,111 fans (2,037/game) to the three-game set against Milwaukee, Feb. 18-20. The previous record was set in 1997 when the Vols drew 5,877 over three games
against Eastern Kentucky. With 2,345 on hand on the first day of the 2011 season, UT had its second-highest attendance for a home-opening contest, behind only the 2.753 that saw the Vols take on Louisville on Feb. 25, 1995.
OPENING DAY SOUTHPAWS With Steven Gruver earning the Opening Day start for the Vols this season, it marked the third consecutive campaign that the Vols have trotted a southpaw out to the mound to open the year. Opening Day Starters Under Head Coach Todd Raleigh 2011 Steven Gruver (Jr., LHP) W vs. Milwaukee - 6.0 IP, 8 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K 2010 Bryan Morgado (Jr., LHP) W vs. Xavier- 5.0 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K 2009 Nick Hernandez (Jr., LHP) ND vs. Oregon State - 5.0 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K 2008 Steve Crnkovich (So., RHP) W vs. Morehead State - 7.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
ROCKY TOP BLOODLINES Freshman centerfielder Andrew Toles was born to bleed orange. A fourth-round selection by the Florida Marlins last June, Toles decided to put his professional career on hold in order to attend the same school where his father and uncle both excelled on the gridiron. His father, Alvin, was a hard-hitting linebacker at Tennessee (1981-84) before being drafted in the first round of the 1985 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. His uncle, Johnnie Jones, also is the fourth-leading rusher in Tennessee history (82-84) and spent time with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL. His mother, Vicky, meanwhile, played basketball at the University of New Orleans, and his sister, Morgan plays basketball at Auburn.
NEW FACES IN THE CROWD The Volunteers return 17 players, including seven starters, from last year's squad which finished with a record of 30-26. Joining them is a talented group of 14 newcomers, headlined by freshman Andrew Toles, a fourth-round pick by the Florida Marlins in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft, and last year's Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year, Ethan Bennett from Farragut High School. All 14 newcomers have already made their way into a game this season.
NEW FACES ON THE COACHING STAFF In addition to the 14 new players, Tennessee also welcomes a pair of new coaches in assistant coach Ash Lawson and volunteer assistant Barrett Shaft. A former head coach at Tennessee Wesleyan, Lawson comes to Rocky Top from the San Diego Padres for whom he was a regional crosschecker. He was named the Padres' Scout of the Year in 2006. Shaft is in his first season as a volunteer assistant after serving as a manager for the team last year. He is a 2008 graduate of Western Carolina.
In an effort to get a few laughs out of his teammates and fans this season, senior Tyler Horne selected Elton John's "Circle of Life" from the animated motion picture "The Lion King," as his walk-up song. It has achieved its stated goal as both players and fans alike have embraced it. When Horne strides to the dish, it is not uncommon to see people imitating the scene from the movie where Rafiki presents Simba for all of the kingdom to see.

HOMEGROWN TALENT PLENTIFUL ON TENNESSEE ROSTER Tennessee’s roster includes 12 players from the state of Tennessee (38.7 percent of the roster). Five Vols are from Knox County and one is from Sevier County (Seymour), while two others hail from West Tennessee and four are from Middle Tennessee. Four of the local players hail from Farragut High School, including senior Rob Catapano, junior Matt Ramsey and freshmen Ethan Bennett and Nick Williams. Bennett was named a 2010 Louisville Slugger High School All American, Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year and TBCA Class AAA Player of the Year after setting a state single-season record with 27 home runs. He also hit .420 with 73 RBIs and scored 57 runs and set the national record for home runs in consecutive games, belting 16 during a 10-game stretch in April. Williams also played a big role in leading Farragut to three straight state titles with Bennett, going 19-0 with 137 strikeouts and an 0.85 ERA during his three seasons on the varsity squad.
THE COLOR ORANGE On Sunday, Feb. 20, ESPN aired a feature-length documentary on former two-sport Tennessee star Condredge Holloway, entitled "The Color Orange." The documentary, produced and directed by country music star Kenny Chesney, detailed Holloway's collegiate career as the first black quar-terback in the SEC. In addition to his exploits on the gridiron, Holloway also served as the starting shortstop at UT, garnering first-team All-America recognition in 1975 after hitting .396 with 20 RBIs and two home runs.
BASEBALL PARTICIPATES IN LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK, RAISES MORE THAN $5,000 FOR CANCER RESEARCH For the fourth straight year, the University of Tennessee baseball team participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night
Walk Thursday evening at Circle Park on the UT campus. Since becoming involved with the event in 2007, the Volunteers have now helped to raise nearly $30,000, including over $5,000 this year, in support of research into the treatment and preven-tion of cancer.

SERIES HISTORYTennessee trails the all-time series with Mississippi State, 25-47, dating back to the first meeting
between the two squads in 1917. Over the last 10 contests, the Bulldogs hold a slim 6-4 advantage. The home team has won each of the last two series. All-time, Tennessee's record against MSU in Knoxville is 12-13.
LAST SEASON Tennessee took the first of a three-game set at Mississippi State before dropping the next two to close out the first half of Southeastern Conference action. In the series opener against Mississippi State, eight different Vols had multiple hits and scored at least one run, highlighted by a 4-for-6, two-run effort by junior Josh Liles as UT claimed a 15-13 victory. Ramsey was 3-for-3 with a solo home run and juniors P.J. Polk and Matt Duffy each pounded out three hits, including a four-bagger of their own, in the victory. Ramsey also worked the ninth on the mound to become the first Tennessee player to earn a save and hit a home run in the same game since Jeff Lockwood accomplished the feat against Middle Tennessee State on March 11, 2008. Although the Vols hit .345 as a team over the weekend, averaging over nine runs a game, the Bulldogs were just a little better, hitting .377 and out-scoring UT, 38-28, over the course of the series. Much of the damage was due to walks as the Big Orange pitching staff issued 21 free passes on the weekend. Matt Duffy was the team's top offensive threat, going 6-for-13 (.462) at the dish with four runs scored, a home run and five RBIs.
