After winning Game 2 of the CWS finals, Tennessee coach Tony Vitello urged his team to show the same spirit on Monday.
“I felt we were more true to who we were today in pregame, in the dugout, during the game,” Vitello said. “It’s easy to say that because we end up doing OK on the scoreboard. But I’d rather go into battle with that group the way they showed up today, and hope they do the same tomorrow.”
