Tennessee baseball opens the SEC Tournament against Alabama on Wednesday at Hoover Met. The Vols won a series at Alabama in March.

Adams surrendered a leadoff walk when facing Kilen, who moved up on a wild pitch. A one-out walk to Hunter Ensley was followed by an RBI single off the bat of left fielder Dalton Bargo against the shift, sending the lead back over to the Tennessee side.

In two seasons for Alabama baseball, Rob Vaughn has been tossed once. A former coach said that competitive spirit nearly got him "killed" in college.
