"Tennessee heads to Arkansas this weekend, still holding out hope to make the SEC tournament in Hoover, Ala. If they make it, you can bet the Vols only senior pitcher, Zack Godley, will have something to do with it.The big right-hander has emerged as a workhorse ace, sitting near the top of the SEC leader board in innings pitched and strikeouts. However, during his early days at Tennessee he wasn’t exactly polished."

"No. 4/4 Tennessee (44-9) posted three runs in the first, more than enough for junior pitcher Ellen Renfroe to help the Lady Vols take a 5-0 win over South Carolina (32-23) in the quarterfinals of the 2013 SEC Tournament on Thursday night at John Cropp Stadium.Tennessee took the lead in the first on an RBI double by Lauren Gibson, scoring Raven Chavanne after she started the contest with a single and stole second. Gibson scored after the throw to third on her steal got away. Kat Dotson drove one out to right to make it 3-0 in the first. The advantage grew to 4-0 on Madison Shipman’s RBI single in the third, and Cheyenne Tarango’s sac fly in the fifth put the lead at 5-0 for the second-seeded Lady Vols."

So we’ve just got to plan something out real good for him and get him when it counts,” Manning’s latest victim, right tackle Orlando Franklin, said Wednesday."
