KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Senior shortstop Megan Gregg hit a solo home run over the left-field wall in the first inning to become Tennessee's all-time home run leader at 52, passing former Lady Vols great Tonya Callahan Friday night in a 4-2 win over LSU at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.

Tennessee (35-6 | 6-7 SEC) got on the board first on in the first with Gregg's solo home run.

The Lady Vols would add two more runs in the bottom of the fourth when Chelsea Seggern hit a two-run home run to right-center field to score Gregg.

UT would add a run in the sixth when Aubrey Leach singled to the shortstop to score Sheridan Allen to give the Big Orange a 4-0 lead.

LSU (32-8 | 7-5 SEC) wouldn't get on the board until the seventh. Shemiah Sanchez hit a double to left field that scored Akiya Thymes and Emily Griggs but it was not enough as Amber Serrett grounded out to the third baseman.

Caylan Arnold (16-4) picked up her 16^th win of the season, going 6.1 innings and picking up six strikeouts. Matty Moss got her fifth save of the season, allowing just one hit in the win.

Allie Walljasper (11-4) got the loss and allowed nine hits while walking three batters.
