Key Stat Lines
- UAlbany Pitchers:
- Will Binder picked up the only hit for UAlbany.
- As a team, the Great Danes didn't commit a single error.
Head Coach Jon Mueller: "We played clean defensively which was a positive. In addition, we had 13 new guys step on the diamond for the first time at UAlbany. The free passes hurt us today. Tennessee gives you little room to breathe on both sides of the ball and displayed why they were in Omaha last year. We will continue to work to remedy the things which challenged us."
