JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 16, 2019) – The ETSU Bucs Softball team ran into the No. 8 team in the NCAA in the Tennessee Lady Vols on Tuesday night at Betty Basler Field, falling by the final score of 11-0. With the loss, ETSU falls to 17-20-2 on the campaign having dropped its eighth consecutive game.
The Lady Vols jumped on board in the opening inning after drawing three consecutive walks to load the bases with nobody out. Tennessee scored on a fielder’s choice two batters later, taking the 1-0 advantage. Kelly Schmidt (Norcross, Ga.) limited the damage to just the one run, recording the final out to escape the jam.
The Bucs reached base in the second inning as Jordan Durbin (Mechanicsville, Va.) drew a two-out walk, taking the trot to first as the only baserunner of the evening for the Blue & Gold.
The Lady Vols scored 10 runs in the final three innings off three hits, including a pair of grand slams from Haley Bearden to cap off the 11-0 victory in five innings.
