Resilience and Redemption: Lady Vols claim Regional crown

After a terrible 1-0 loss to Miami (OH) on Friday, co-coach Ralph Weekly said “We aren’t done yet.” His Lady Vols proved that by winning 4 straight games to claim the Knoxville Regional crown, advancing to the Super Regionals yet again after losing to Oklahoma St in the Regional title game here in Knoxville last season.
They beat UAB 8-0 in five innings, run-ruling them. They also run-ruled Miami (OH) 8-0 in six innings on Saturday.
On Sunday they needed two wins against Virginia Tech to move on and win the Regional. The first game was a 2-1 win for the Lady Vols, and the second game was a decisive win for pitcher Ivy Renfroe in a crushing 10-2 blow to the Lady Hokies. Here is the after-game press conference:
Tennessee will now face Georgia in a Best-of-3 series this week, which will be here in Knoxville. I encourage anyone interested in attending to buy tickets before they sell out! Go to uttix.com for ticket sales and info! Let’s go Lady Vols!

200: Thanks So Much!

It’s kinda amazing, just sitting here and wondering where I was almost two whole years ago when I started this small sports blog that now has a Twitter and Facebook. I was only a sixth grader at the time. And it’s crazy to me that I’m sitting here writing my 200th post. I could NOT have done this without you. Your views, email subscriptions, follows on Twitter, likes on Facebook, or whatever else you did to contribute is important to me. Right now the site is sitting at 2,630 views. That’s awesome, and I just wanted to take this milestone to say thank you to everybody, and I hope this site continues to grow and flourish with your help.
Thank you.

Ready For Regionals: Lady Vols claim #7 seed
May 14, 2012 Leave a comment

Is seven a lucky number? Some might think so, and the Lady Vol Softball team sure hopes so. In the NCAA Softball Selection Show last night, the Lady Vols found out they would be the #7 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. This means they will be able to host Regional and Super Regional games (Top-8 seeds get this advantage). This is really helpful for the team, as co-head coach Ralph Weekly said Sunday, “We’re seeded number seven, which means you can stay home all the way to the World Series.”
Here is a video depicting the reaction the team had about their seeding:
Miami (OH), UAB, and Virginia Tech will join the Lady Vols in the Knoxville Regional. Tennessee will play Miami (OH) Friday at 6 p.m., and UAB and Virginia Tech will play earlier at 3:30p.m. The Regional is set up in a double-elimination style (meaning you have to lose twice to get eliminated). As the Lady Vols know all too well, hosting a regional isn’t an automatic win. They aren’t any walk in the park. Last year, Oklahoma State upset the Lady Vols, winning the Knoxville Regional. “Anyone can beat you. We’ve got to take care of the region,” says Weekly.
If things play out according to plan, Georgia (the #10 seed) will find themselves matched up with their SEC rival, the Lady Vols in a Best-of-3 series known as the Super Regionals, with the winner advancing with seven other teams to the College World Series in Oklahoma City.
California received the #1 overall seed, while the SEC Champions (Alabama Crimson Tide) snagged the #2 seed. Florida (who beat the Lady Vols in the SEC Tournament, see “A Walk Around Campus” for more) snatched the #5 seed.
Are sevens lucky? The Lady Vols hope so, I hope so, and anyone setting their eyes on that trophy better watch their backs.
Factoid of the Day: 9 of the 11 SEC teams made the NCAA Tournament.

A Walk Around Campus: An overview of Tennessee sports this weekend
May 13, 2012 Leave a comment
by Griffin H.
Baseball: Someone I follow on Twitter tweeted this yesterday, “Wow I have been upset over football and basketball games in the past, but I have never been this upset over a @Vol_Baseball game.#stunned” And I think that is true for the most part. The Vols had a 4-2 lead of 24th ranked Ole Miss in the bottom of the 9th and had a 7-4 loss in extra innings stuck in their gut. It is even more painful to keep seeing the team lose. After they hit 20 wins they have pretty much tanked, which is hard to swallow. In all likelihood, the Vols will not be at this year’s SEC Tournament, a 5-year drought.
Softball: The Lady Vols beat Auburn 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament, but lost another close one to Florida. The Lady Gators hit a home run in extra innings to win the game. The Lady Vols will finish the season in the Top-10, and should be highly seeded in the NCAA Regionals hoping to take a swing at that College World Series title.
Golf: The Lady Vols golf team will be playing in the NCAA Golf Finals in Nashville.
Tennis: The Lady Vols’ season ended with a 4-1 loss to Virginia yesterday in the NCAA Tournament. The Vols pummeled UNC-Wilmington yesterday 4-1, and the 17th ranked Vols are playing host North Carolina today.
Rowing: The Lady Vols won the Conference-USA Championship in rowing over Texas yesterday. Last year they lost to the Longhorns in a photo finish, but no pictures were needed to decide the winner this year.
Upcoming Schedule:
Baseball: @MTSU (7p.m Wednesday) Arkansas (Triple-header Friday-Sunday).
Softball: Awaiting seeding for the NCAA.
Tennis: Trying to keep their season alive against UNC today.
