Incoming Tennessee #LadyVols Avary Stockwell (Tennessee) and Meredith Barnhart (Colorado) have been named Gatorade Softball State Players of the Year. https://t.co/Cfc0omr4XK
Despite a really strong pitching performance, Tennessee gets very little going offensively. The #Vols score three runs on two hits, both home runs, in a 4-3 loss to Arkansas. Season on the line tomorrow afternoon for the defending national champions.
With his 25th home run of the season, Andrew Fischer owns sole possession of second place on the Tennessee single-season home run list. https://t.co/nfpsORfsmU
