LIVE UPDATES: Tennessee Baseball vs the Missouri Tigers

Live updates from Knoxville as the Tennessee Volunteers baseball team looks to earn their first series victory in SEC play.

The Tennessee Volunteers are set to take on the Missouri Tigers this afternoon as the Vols look to close out their second conference series with a win. Today's game will be the final contest of a three-game series between these two programs.

The Volunteers avenged their game one loss with a win over the Tigers on Saturday and are looking to earn a victory in game three to win their first conference series of the season. Saturday's victory saw a strong defensive showing for the Vols, as they held the Tigers to just two runs, despite surrendering eight hits.

Tennessee has scored only four runs of their own in the past two contests however, and will likely need to increase their offensive output this afternoon in order to have better odds at securing a victory.

With a win today, the Volunteers will secure their first series victory against an SEC opponent and will be building some excellent momentum to continue its regular season and potentially earn a spot in the College World Series.

As the Vols and Tigers continue their game three matchup, Volunteers on SI will continue to provide timely and accurate coverage of the events as they occur. Stay tuned for more updates from the Tennessee Volunteers matchup with the Missouri Tigers.
