Welcome in to the Diamond Falls podcast on Govall's 24.com.

I'm Ben McKee, and I'm joined by former Tennessee baseball pitcher Will Heflin here on a Wednesday, May 13th.

And hard to believe that the final weekend of the regular season has arrived.

Tennessee here in about an hour or two.

We'll be getting on a plane to head west,

not to Norman, but to Oklahoma City to conclude its regular season with three games

in the Dodgers AAA ballpark there. In OKC, we'll dive into why they're playing in

OKC on the back end of the podcast. And of course, preview this weekend's important series for the Vols,

needing another win to lock themselves into the NCAA tournament.

We believe that Tennessee is still going to make the tournament,

but a win would lock him in and guarantee, as Charles Barkley would say them into the tournament so we'll

dive into that in the second segment this first segment we're going to talk about how

Tennessee is midweek national champions 14 and oh they go perfect in midweek games this season

for the first time this century,

certainly the first time of the Tony Vitello and Josh Elander era. And again, like we talked

about, I think last week, Will, no need to hang a banner, no need to throw a parade downtown

on Gay Street.

But going 14 and 0 in midweek games, going undefeated in midweek games, it's still impressive.

It really is.

It's more difficult than I think casual college baseball fans realize.

I had somebody in my mention say, well, which ranked team did they beat in the midweek? And like, I get it.

Like, Tennessee doesn't really challenge themselves in midweek games.
