Tennessee baseball players discuss field conditions ahead of matchup against Florida State for College World Series in Omaha.
. Omaha provides a unique venue for college teams as it is one of the bigger fields teams play on throughout the entire year. On top of that, field conditions might become a factor for opening weekend, and Tennessee's baseball team discussed it.
Outfielder Hunter Ensley mentioned that some rain that came in during the week has changed the playing surface a little bit, but thinks things should be good to go for Friday's matchup. “Yeah, I think conditions-wise for the field, I think it rained a little bit last night,” Ensley said. “So I think the grass was a little longer and dirt is a little mushy, but I think tomorrow will be fine. Probably cut the grass down a little bit, so it’s not going to be as long. Hopefully, it’s not mud, but if it is, we’ll figure a way out to deal with it.”“The bullpen today was pretty sweet,” Beam said. “Bullpens are always pristine here. Just excited to get out there and get to play.”.
The College World Series rounds are double elimination so it's not a do-or-die situation for either team on Friday, but picking up a win in the first game will provide some great momentum to get things started off in Omaha in contention for a spot in the championship series.
