The All-Time Series Versus Arkansas... Tennessee holds a 26-11 overall record against Arkansas and are 19-4 versus the Razorbacks since Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly arrived to helm the Lady Vol softball program prior to the 2002 campaign. The Big Orange are a sterling 15-1 against UA all-time in Knoxville with the only home loss to the ‘Backs coming back on April 14, 2001. UT has won the last five meetings between the two programs. Ivy’s Surging at the Right Time... Sophomore pitcher Ivy Renfroe continued her late-season surge by firing her second career no-hitter in downing Mississippi State, 8-0 (6 inn.), on April 22. Over her last seven appearances in the circle, the Jackson, Tenn., native is 6-0 with a 0.35 ERA to go along with three complete game shutouts and 38 K’s in 40 innings of work. SHE ENTERS THIS WEEKEND’S SERIES AGAINST ARKANSAS HAVING NOT ALLOWED AN EARNED RUN IN 30.2 CONSECUTIVE FRAMES. Hot at the Plate Sophomore Raven Chavanne and junior Jessica Spigner are on quite a roll at the plate. Chavanne is currently on an 11-GAME HITTING STREAK during which she is hitting at a .561 clip (23-of-41) with 10 runs scored and seven stolen bases. Spigner has blasted five HR’s over her last 10 contests to give her 12 big flies for the season and tie junior Shelby Burchell for the team lead. We Went Streaking!!!! Tennessee recently posted a SEASON-LONG 13-GAME WINNING STREAK that began after a loss to #22 Auburn on April 2 and ended on April 23 vs. Mississippi State. UT already had an 11-game winning streak that stretched from Feb. 22 (Southern Utah) through March 6 (Georgia Southern), ending eventually in a 9-6 loss at #23 Kentucky. The 13-game win streak marked the longest for the Big Orange since posting a 17-game winning skein from February 7-March 6, 2009. The 2007 Lady Vol squad continues to hold the school mark of 26
