Apr 09, 2016 | Softball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 10 Texas A&M softball team dropped game two of its series at No. 17 Tennessee, 11-0, Saturday at the Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.
Tennessee (30-10, 9-5 SEC) took an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning. UT loaded the bases on back-to-back walks and a single, before Rainey Gaffin recorded a two-RBI single to left and advanced to second on a fielding error which allowed the third run to score.
The Volunteers added to their lead in the second as Brooke Vines reached on a fielding error, plating CJ McClain. In the third, Gretchen Aucoin hit a three-run homer to left, extending the lead to seven. Gaffin hit a grand slam to right center in the fourth to give Tennessee the 11-0 advantage.
A&M (31-8, 5-6 SEC) threatened in the first inning putting runners in scoring position. Freshman Keeli Milligan led off the inning with a walk and stole her 44th base of the season. Freshman Kaitlyn Alderink singled to right, moving Milligan to third. Alderink advanced to second on a groundout, but Tennessee pitcher Matty Moss got out of the jam with a fly out and strikeout.
Sophomore Trinity Harrington suffered the loss to move to 6-2 on the season. Harrington labored 2.1 innings giving up six runs, four of them earned, five hits and two strikeouts. Moss improved her record to 7-2 on the campaign.
