Josh Elander recaps Vols’ Bellarmine victory, Tony Vitello still records win during suspension

Josh Elander recaps Tennessee’s win against Bellarmine. Tony Vitello still records the win to his head coaching record during his suspension.

No. 1 Tennessee (34-3, 14-1 SEC) defeated Bellarmine (7-29, 5-10 ASUN), 9-3, Tuesday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

Tuesday’s game was the second straight contest third base coach Josh Elander served as Tennessee’s acting head coach.

During Tennessee’s game No. 2 against Alabama on April 16, head coach Tony Vitello and pitching coach Frank Anderson were ejected.

Vitello is serving a four-game suspension, while Anderson was only suspended for game No. 3 of the Alabama series.

Vitello still earns Tennessee’s wins and losses to his head coaching record while Elander is serving as acting head coach. If Elander were an interim head coach, and not an acting head coach, Vitello would not receive wins and losses during his suspension.

Notre Dame seniors’ best scoring games at Purcell Pavilion

Take a look back at these memorable performances.

Notre Dame’s graduating class will get one final opportunity to show itself off during senior day at Purcell Pavilion. Although there still will be a few meaningful things to play for against Pittsburgh, the significance of day shouldn’t be lost on any of them. After all, graduating players get only one opportunity to be honored for their years of service to the program, so this is the time to let it all soak in.

Over the past few years, the Irish’s six seniors and one graduate student have had plenty of opportunities to put points on the Purcell Pavilion scoreboard. Some efforts have produced better results than others. As they prepare to take their home court for the last time, let’s take a look at the scoring performances that they haven’t been able to top. Maybe one of these games will be replaced by this upcoming one, but this is their last chance to top themselves in South Bend.

Lady Vols sweep Bellarmine

Recapping UT’s softball sweep of Bellarmine Tuesday.

The Lady Vols had a short day on the diamond Tuesday despite playing a doubleheader.

No. 21 Tennessee swept Bellarmine University at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium taking the opener from the Knights, 18-0. The Lady Vols notched an 8-0 victory in the nightcap. Both games were called after five innings.

In the opener, UT pitchers Callie Turner and Anna Hazlewood combined to hurl a no-hitter and the Knights had only one player reach base.

Turner tossed three innings and had three strikeouts before Hazlewood, a sophomore, threw two innings of relief. She surrendered one walk and struck out one.

Ivy Davis, Ashley Morgan and Ally Shipman all homered in the game.

Morgan went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs, while Shipman had two hits, three runs scored and knocked in three runs.

Davis was 1-for-3 with a run and three RBIs for the Lady Vols, who scored 17 runs over the first three innings.

In the second game, Kiki Milloy had a pair of RBI singles and Shipman drove in a pair. Rylie West had a double and knocked in two runs and Madison Webber had an RBI single for Tennessee (20-3).

The Lady Vols also stole four bases as Davis, Chelsea Seggern, Milloy and Amanda Ayala all swiped bags against the Knights (4-13).

In the circle, Bailey McCachren threw a complete game. She gave up two hits and two walks while fanning one.
