The University of Tennessee Lady Vols recently secured a spot in their 13th Super Regional in program history after defeating Virginia 6-0. The Lady Vols got off to a strong start in the first inning, scoring two runs thanks to Rylie West’s 2-RBI single. Pitcher Karlyn Pickens delivered a 1-2-3 inning in the first and continued her strong performance throughout the game, only allowing two hits and pitching a complete game shutout.
Throughout the game, Tennessee’s offense was led by West, who finished with 5 RBI including a solo home run in the fifth inning. The Lady Vols will now face Alabama in the Super Regional after the Crimson Tide advanced out of the Tuscaloosa regional. Tennessee had earlier won the regular season series against Alabama, taking two out of the three games.
Their strong performance on the field has made the Lady Vols a team to watch as they continue their journey through the postseason. With a combination of solid pitching, strong hitting, and a history of success in the Super Regionals, the Lady Vols are prepared to take on their next opponent and fight for a spot in the Women’s College World Series. Stay tuned for more action from this talented team as they aim to make a deep postseason run.
