"Coach Anderson does such a good job with our pitchers it's become a strength," Tony Vitello said after the Vols beat Mizzou 3-2 in game two. "Glad we won the game tonight. He (Anderson) has family stuff he's attending to — relative a little bit ill and it's good he puts family first and goes and does that, so we're all thinking and praying about him and I know Drew (Beam) said he's going to get it done in honor of Frank."
Volunteer associate head coach Josh Elander is calling pitches in place of Anderson. Elander was a catcher in college at TCU before being drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the sixth round of the 2012 MLB Draft. He spent parts of four years in the Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks minor league systems before his career was cut short by injuries.
Elander's best season came in 2013 when he was named the Atlanta Braves Minor League Player of the Year and also won the Atlanta Braves Hank Aaron Award, which is presented annually to the organization's top hitter in the minor leagues. During his professional career, Elander hit .273 with 21 homers and 135 RBIs through 222 games.
