Tusculum hosted the spring edition of the Hokie-Smokey Classic in 2013 where the Vols edged Virginia Tech, 5-4 at Pioneer Park.
Tennessee went 44-22 and finished fourth in the SEC East Division last spring. But the Vols caught fire in the NCAA postseason, winning the Clemson and Hattiesburg Regionals to advance to the Men’s College World Series for a sixth time in program history. Virginia Tech is coming off a 30-23 campaign where the Hokies finished fifth in the ACC Coastal Division.
