It was their first loss in the postseason this year, and it came at a pivotal time of the season.
The No. 12 Tennessee Volunteers got a walk-off from Haley Bearden in the bottom of the ninth inning to top the No. 5 Gators, 3-2 in the second of a best-of-three super regional series in Gainesville, Sunday.
In the first game of the series, starting pitcher Kelly Barnhill held the Volunteers scoreless in a 3-0 win.
However, on Saturday, Tennessee (43-16) notched the first run against Florida of the postseason in the bottom of the first inning after Aubrey Leach drew a leadoff single, then stole second.
