KNOXVILLE - With the high probability of inclement weather on Sunday, the series finale between Tennessee and Northern Illinois has been moved up and the two squads will now play a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at noon.

Both games will be nine-inning contests with approximately 45 minutes in between.

The Vols and Huskies will kick off the 2012 campaign this afternoon at 4 p.m. at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. UT junior right-hander Drew Steckenrider is set to take the hill for the Big Orange, while NIU will send out southpaw Tom Barry.
