Tony Vitello is searching for Tennessee baseball's best as the Vols head into the final week of the regular season after losing to Vanderbilt.

The Tennessee-Vanderbilt three-game baseball series concluded Sunday. No. 10 Vanderbilt (36-16, 15-12 SEC) defeated No. 12 Tennessee (39-13, 15-12 SEC), 7-5, at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The in-state series was a top 15 matchup in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Tennessee Vols baseball program has hit a bit of a rough stretch over the last month. Tennessee has lost five of its last six SEC weekend series, including their last four series at home. The Vols will head to Fayetteville this weekend for a three-game set against the Arkansas Razorbacks in what's essentially a must-win series for the Vols if they want to host a regional.
