In the first inning, Jordan Beck hit a home run for Tennessee. Beck was ruled out as umpires inspected his bat. His bat did not have an approved sticker for Friday’s Vanderbilt game.
The game was televised by ESPN2 with Dave Neal and former Vol Chris Burke on the call.
Following the incident with Beck, Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello discussed the situation with Neal and Burke.
“I don’t even know that Jordan Beck should be at the University of Tennessee,” Vitello said. “He forged his transcript. He is actually a 35-year-old man named Mike Honcho. He just shows up to practice every day and he is a good kid, so we put him in the lineup.”
Vitello’s Mike Honcho reference is from the movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”
