Tennessee Chancellor Donde Plowman was at Lindsey Nelson Stadium all weekend, and she will be a key factor in assuring the Vols secure a deal with Tony Vitello, as she shared her opinion on Tennessee's monumental win.

The NCAA Baseball twitter account took notice of the show the Vols put on with their bats en route to Omaha. 

It was a HR Derby in Knoxville! @Vol_Baseball hit 6 HR's and set a new program record for HRs in an NCAA Tournament game.
