The Bulldogs’ Emily Digby broke the ice with a 2-RBI triple in the second inning.

UT quickly tied things up in the third, however, on a McKenna Gibson RBI single and a sac fly from Destiny Rodriguez.

Payton Gotshall went 6.0 strong innings for the Lady Vols, striking out seven of the 19 batters she faced. However, the lone hit she allowed – a solo home run from Sarah Gordon – proved costly.

Tennessee (29-6, 9-2 SEC) will close the weekend series with Georgia on Sunday at 11 a.m.
