The All-Time Series Versus Radford... Tennessee has won all five previous meetings with Radford with the last contest resulting in an 11-2 (5 inn.) UT victory back on April 21, 2004, in Bristol, Va. In fact, that Big Orange triumph is the only meeting for the program against the Highlanders since Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly arrived at UT prior to the 2002 campaign. Two Outs Just Means Its Time to Produce Two outs in an inning...that just means its time to do some serious damage if you’re Tennessee. The Lady Vols have registered 121 two-out RBIs this season and are near the top of the SEC in two-out batting average at .328 overall. In a staggering recent display, the Lady Vols posted 17 TWO-OUT RBIS during its three game series sweep at #21/19 LSU. Off to One of Our Best Starts Ever! At 38-6 through 44 games, Tennessee is currently tied for the third-best record in program history to this point in a season. The 2007 team was 42-2, the 2005 squad was 39-5 and the 2006 team was 38-6. The common thread between those teams...each of them eventually reached the Women’s College World Series.
