Tony Vitello and the Tennessee Volunteers are off to a great start to the 2022 season. So far, the Vols have an overall record of 32-3 and have an SEC record of 13-1.
But, on Saturday night in a 9-2 win over Alabama, Vitello and pitching coach Frank Anderson were ejected following a confrontation with the umpire.
Vitello bumped the umpire during the altercation, and now it is reported that he has been suspended for 4 games. Anderson received a 1-game ban:
