No. 5 Tennessee (20-1, 3-0 SEC) opened a three-game baseball series at No. 2 Ole Miss (16-4, 2-1 SEC) on Friday.
Ahead of game No. 1 between the Vols and Ole Miss, Rebels’ football head coach Lane Kiffin threw out the first pitch.
Kiffin threw a golf ball instead of a baseball for the first pitch at Oxford-University Stadium at Swayze Field.
Ole Miss defeated Tennessee, 31-16, in football at Neyland Stadium on Oct. 16, 2021.
The second-year Ole Miss head coach was hit by a golf ball thrown from the stands during the contest.
Kiffin served as the Vols’ head coach during the 2009 season. He guided Tennessee to a 7-6 (4-4 SEC) record.
Kiffin left Tennessee after one season for the same capacity at USC.
