Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello met with the media following the Vols’ 10-0 series-clinching run-rule victory over Florida Saturday in Knoxville.
Vitello shared his thoughts on Marcus Phillips’ complete game shutout, a nine-run 7th inning, a great defensive day from the team and more.

“Improvement,” Vitello said about what noticed from Phillips in his outing. “Which has kind of been the case. Last year, it would come in bunches, or maybe the graph would be a little more scattered. This year, there’s been a steady incline of improvement. I could break it down, it’s a long list of little things, but they all pile up into who he is as a teammate and person and competitor, and obviously pitcher.
“And I’m excited for him because I think he can – you’re going to give up runs and you’re going to give up hits – but I’m excited for him because I think there are years past here where he is going to continue on an incline.”
