The pitching staff scattered 12 hits over two games to UT who entered the contest batting .336 as a team and averaging 6.5 runs per game. The outing is right after the Tiger pitching corpse was touched for 48 hits and 38 runs over the first five games of the current 12 game road trip.

Francys King continues to lead the staff with a 2.64 ERA, holding teams to a .239 batting average, and is followed by Raven Loveless with a 2.91 ERA.

For the first seven games of the road trip, Kayli Mothershed is 5-of-16 with three walks for a .313 average and a .421 on base percentage. The sophomore catcher has two doubles and a home run.
