An Unprecedented Start... Unprecedented not for wins, that occurred back in 2006 when UT won its first 24 games of the season, but for runs scored over the initial five games of the year. Entering 2011, the most tallies that Tennessee had ever totaled during its opening five games was 42 back in 2009. This year, through the first five tilts, THE BIG ORANGE HAVE PUT UP 62! THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF 12.4 RUNS PER GAME. Someone Got “Orange” All Over the SEC Stats! As of Feb. 15 Tennessee is virtually everywhere in the Southeastern Conference statistics. UT currently leads the league in team batting average (.472), on-base percentage (.577), runs scored (62), hits (59) and RBIs (62) and rates second in slugging percentage (.784), HR’s (11), total bases (98) and earned run average (0.56). From an individual standpoint junior utility player Shelby Burchell guides the conference with her .667 batting average and sophomore outfielder Kat Dotson is tied for first with 12 RBIs. Sophomore outfielder Raven Chavanne is deadlocked for second in hits (nine) and runs (10) and is third in slugging percentage (1.214). Ellen Renfroe and Cat Hosfield are currently tied for first in ERA at a flawless 0.00. Bring on the Bright Lights of Vegas! This certainly won’t be the first trip for the Lady Vol softball program out to the bright lights of Las Vegas, Nev. Tennessee has made four previous visits to the “Oasis in the Desert,” those occurring in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. All time in Las Vegas, the UT program maintains a sterling 17-1 overall record and has won its last 15 consecutive contests. Included are victories over teams such as No. 11 Washington, No. 17 Baylor, No. 18 Nebraska, No. 18 Oregon, Cal Poly, Purdue, Kansas, Hawai’i and Illinois. The lone loss happened way back in 2003, just the second year under the guidance of Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly, as the Big Orange dropped a 3-0 decision to Syracuse. Checking the Records Versus Opponents Entering this weekend’s action at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas, Nev.,
