Tennessee fans furious with SEC after controversial call in tournament loss to Alabama
After looking like it had won, Tennessee baseball is now in the SEC Tournament losers bracket after falling to Alabama 3-2 in extra innings.
The Volunteers appeared to had won the game in the ninth inning but a controversial interference call sent the game to extra innings.
Alabama took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 11th inning and held on for the victory.

As you might expect, Tennessee fans are furious with the SEC and the conference umpires for sending the game to extra.
Here’s a small sample of what is being said on Twitter:
Total scam job. We won this game and had it stolen. Corruption or ineptitude, it really doesn’t matter.
Trash is trash.

Get on the bus and go home tonight. Tennessee won that game in the ninth-inning. If the SEC is going to screw us then tell them to go to hell.
