She is one of those that typically holits Sec pitching better than weaker pitching and it looks as if this year will be no different just better.

Notes: Melissa Davin played a major role in UT's three wins this week. After a 2-for-3 effort in UT's 15-0 (5) rout of Western Carolina on March 11, Davin went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, five RBIs and three runs scored in Tennessee's SEC-opening 9-2 win over Arkansas on March 14. Davin bashed another home run and drove in three in a 2-for-2 showing as Tennessee cruised past Arkansas, 8-0 (6), to win the series.

Davin's five-RBI performance against Arkansas on March 14 tied for the team's season high and her grand slam was Tennessee's second grand slam of the season and the first of her career. Davin's three hits in the game were also her season high and her most since tallying four hits against Tennessee State on April 2, 2013.

On the week, Davin had a 1.273 slugging percentage and a .765 on-base percentage, combining for an impressive 2.038 OPS

Nice to see Aldrete coming on so well. All three freshmen Californians have not disappointed. Combined with the upper classmen they should be rolling by tournament time. Just wish we could find that second pitcher to spell Renfroe and provide some hope for next year.

regarding second pitcher...

if they would follow the game plan of Gabriel, Tarango, Gaffin.... each 1 time through the lineup and then bring Ellen in if necessary to close... as appropriate... would be a winning formula...

Agree, it worked against Arkansas for 6 innings. If someone is going to hit a 3 run homer to tie than so be it but I would abandon the strategy yet.
