Lady Vols power past Liberty

Recapping Tennessee’s win over Liberty Tuesday.

The Lady Vols used the long ball to claim a 6-0 victory over Liberty on Tuesday.

No. 21 Tennessee used two-run homers by Ally Shipman and Kiki Milloy to down the Flames, 6-0, in an afternoon game at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.

After a scoreless first inning, Tennessee (26-5) broke through when Shipman, a catcher, clubbed a two-run homer in the bottom of the second frame.

The Lady Vols extended their lead against Liberty (21-10) with two more runs in the third as Shipman, who went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs scored, came up with a scoring single.

Milloy scored when pinch hitter KK McCrary drew a walk with the bases loaded to make it 4-0.

Milloy, who went 2-for-2 and scored two runs and drove in two more, clubbed a two-run homer in the fourth to provide the final margin.

In the circle, Ashley Rogers (14-4) picked up her third win in two days as she hurled a complete game. She posted a two-hit shutout, while giving up one walk and recording eight strikeouts.

Rogers picked up a pair of wins Monday as she had two scoreless relief appearances in the Lady Vols’ doubleheader sweep of Furman.
