The University of Tennessee baseball team begins fall practice Wednesday in preparation for the second Orange & White World Series, a best-of-seven intrasquad games.

The team will be split into two teams via a draft, with one squad coached by infielders coach Bradley LeCroy and the other led by pitching coach Fred Corral. All seven games will be played no matter the series outcome.

The World Series games are Oct. 3 at 6 p.m., Oct. 17 at 7, Oct. 19 at 2, Oct. 24 at 6, Oct. 26 at 2, Nov. 1 at 3 and Nov. 2 at 2.

“We’ve set up some of our World Series games this year to coincide with home football weekends,” UT coach Todd Raleigh said in a university release. “Fans who are in town for the Northern Illinois, Mississippi State and Alabama football games can stop by the baseball stadium the Friday night before the game and enjoy some free baseball.

“It’s also a great way to catch a glimpse of what our team — and our stadium — will look like this spring. We’ve got a lot of new players that we’re excited about, and the improvements to the stadium and field have everyone fired up as well.”

UT also will conduct open-campus tryouts Monday and Tuesday.
