KNOXVILLE, Tennessee – No. 14 Texas A&M looks to extend its seven-game win streak as the Aggies embark on a three-game road series against the Tennessee Volunteers beginning Friday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Every game of the series is available for viewing on SEC Network +. SEC Network + provides digital-only events to SEC Network subscribers through WatchESPN and the ESPN app on smartphones, computers, tablets and connected devices (Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 and Xbox One). All three games will air on SportsRadio 1150/102.7 The Zone with Dave South and Stephen Grove on the call.
The current win streak began when Michael Helman was moved to the leadoff spot and Logan Foster, who is hitting .458 over span, was slotted in the No. 2 spot for the second game of the LSU series.
