The Tennessee Vols' 12-7 win against the Campbell Fighting Camels on Saturday night in Knoxville was punctuated by an incredible play-by-play call from Vol Network's John Wilkerson.
Wilkerson's call of Vols shortstop Cortland Lawson's three-run home run in the 9th inning is sure to give Tennessee fans goosebumps.
Check out the call.
The pure excitement in Wilkerson's voice is incredible. His call is absolutely perfect as it accurately captured the energy inside Lindsey Nelson Stadium when Lawson's home run went over the right-field wall.
But the best part of Wilkerson's call is when he says "Lawson comes through for Pantone 151".
Pantone 151, of course, is the official shade of orange for Tennessee.
Earlier this week, Campbell's official Twitter account tweeted that Pantone 158 C — the official orange of the Camels — is "the only orange that matters".
What an absolutely brilliant call by Wilkerson. Just imagine how well he would do behind the mic for Tennessee football games…
