No. 22 Lady Vols Fall at Home to No. 12 LSU, 11-3
March 14, 2021 | Softball
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Three long balls and a solid performance in the circle from LSU was too much for the No. 22 Tennessee softball team to overcome, as it fell to the 12th-ranked Tigers, 11-3, on Sunday at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.
Tennessee (18-3, 1-2 SEC) struggled at the plate, generating just five hits, with none of them going for extra bases, while LSU (15-7, 2-1 SEC) finished with 10 hits and 10 RBI as a team.
LSU struck first in the opening inning, plating three runs on three hits, highlighted by a two-run homer from Georgia Clark, to put the Tigers up 3-0 just a half inning into the afternoon.
The Tigers struck again in the third, tacking on three more on a two-run shot from Amanda Doyle and an RBI single from Morgan Cummins, doubled the LSU lead to 6-0.
LSU posted a five-run fourth to extend its lead to 11-0, on the verge of claiming a run-rule victory.
Tennessee scored a trio of consolation runs in the bottom half of the fifth, coming within a whisker of extending the afternoon, but instead cementing the days final score.
UP NEXT
Tennessee returns to action for a Tuesday afternoon doubleheader with in-state foe Bellarmine. First pitch for game one is slated for 2 p.m. ET on SEC Network+.
