Tennessee baseball and head coach Tony Vitello have the evening time slot on Friday night for their opening game in the 2024 Men’s College World Series.
No. 1 Tennessee will take on No. 8 Florida State at 7:00 p.m. ET from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Vols and the Seminoles will be the second game on Friday as No. 4 North Carolina and No. 12 Virginia kick off the College World Series at 2:00 p.m. ET.
