What coach Tim Corbin said about Vanderbilt baseball, Tennessee confrontation after Game 3
KNOXVILLE ― After the final out of Vanderbilt baseball's 7-5 win against Tennessee on May 11, which clinched the rivalry series win for the first time since 2021, the teams had to be separated on the field after the benches cleared and several players appeared to exchange words. A Vanderbilt program spokesperson said he was not aware of any ejections or suspensions stemming from the game. "I didn't know what happened really, until I was in the middle of it, but it was just two emotional teams that all played hard," Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin said. "You know that boys will be boys." Advertisement Tempers had flared all game. During the first inning, both teams were issued warnings after Vanderbilt catcher Colin Barczi took exception to Tennessee first baseman Andrew Fischer chirping at Commodores players while rounding the bases after a home run. Both Fischer and Barczi hit two home runs in the game. CONNOR FENNELL Why '12-year-old demon' Connor Fennell angers opposing coaches, dominates for Vanderbilt baseball "Rubber match, Game 3.
