Big Orange Slices... The All-Time Series Against the Paladins  Tennessee leads its series against Furman by a commanding 6-0 count with games dating back to 1998. UT is a perfect 3-0 versus the Paladins in Knoxville with the last meeting occurring last March 5 in the 2011 version of the Tennessee Classic as the Big Orange prevailed at Lee Softball Stadium, 6-4. Kat Dotson led a 12-hit Lady Vol offensive attack by going a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a triple and a HR, while Shelby Burchell was 2-for-4 with a two-run HR. Put Raven Out There to Start...She’ll Likely Be There Anyway  Raven Chavanne makes a habit of getting the Lady Vol offense off and running to open games. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native has now reached base leading off UT’s first turn at the plate 11 TIMES IN HER 22 GAMES during 2012. Included in that total are seven singles, a triple, two walks and a hit by pitch. In opportunities leading off any inning for Tennessee during her career in the Orange & White, CHAVANNE HAS NOW REACHED 121 TIMES IN 231 TOTAL CHANCES OR 52% OF THE TIME she’s had an opportunity to set the table for the UT offense (18-of-36 in 2012, 50%) Quick Out of the Gate  The Lady Vols usually waste no time in jumping on their opponents, as Tennessee has registered at least one run during the first inning in 13 of their contests in 2012 and are 9-4 in those match-ups. The largest outburst of the campaign in the initial frame was six tallies during a 10-3 win at Mississippi State on March 26. IN FACT, 28 OF THE LADY VOLS’ RUNS HAVE COME IN THE FIRST INNING, MARKING IT AS THE HIGHESTSCORING FRAME FOR THE BIG ORANGE THIS SEASON. Exceptional Ellen!  Tennessee sophomore pitcher Ellen Renfroe picked up this year right where she left off in 2011, roaring through the Kajikawa Classic with a 5-0 record, a 1.13 ERA, three solo shutouts and 48 strikeouts in 31 innings of work.
