The University of Tennessee announced Friday that two of its four fall baseball exhibition games will take place at Erlanger Park.

Josh Elander’s Volunteers will face Kennesaw State on Nov. 1, and they will play Georgia Tech on Nov. 8. Both exhibitions at the $115 million home of the Chattanooga Lookouts will be on a Sunday and are set for 2 p.m.

The Vols also have exhibitions against Troy at Nashville’s First Horizon Park on Sunday, Oct. 11, and against Lipscomb at Knoxville’s Covenant Health Park on Friday, Oct. 16.

Tennessee, which won the 2024 national championship, has made seven consecutive NCAA tournament appearances, advancing to the eight-team College World Series in 2021, 2023 and 2024. The Vols return 13 players from last season’s 38-22 squad that finished 15-15 in Southeastern Conference play during Elander’s first season as the program’s head coach, and they are bringing in 24 newcomers.

Baseball America ranks Tennessee’s transfer portal class No. 1 nationally and its high school class No. 3 in the country.
