That… was not an ideal start to SEC play, y’all.
In Game One of the double header, Tiger pitchers were hit early, and … really often, falling in six innings to the Lady Vols, 14-3. With Jordan Weber tabbed to start, fans would think the Tigers could make this into a pitcher’s duel against Texas Tech transfer Erin Edmoundson, but it was not the case. Jo only lasted 2⁄3 of an inning after allowing a couple doubles and a three run shot to Zelda Puni (a name that will be mentioned a lot here), and was replaced by Megan Schumacher.
