🔼 Tossin’ Wins. The stunt team had multiple wins this past weekend. The team started off with a win over Maryville, 19-9. Next, they defeated UT Martin 23-7. On day two of the competition, the Cats beat Maryville again 24-3. The team had a perfect weekend and compete again on Thursday.
🔼 Fought Hard. The softball team faced No. 3 LSU this past weekend and lost 6-2, 4-3 and 8-3. Ally Hutchins hit her third home run of the season in game two. Jaden Vickers didn’t walk anyone in her first-career SEC start. Peyton Plotts and Taylor Ebbs were the two players with multi-hits in Sunday’s game.

🔵 ONE BIG THING
Mound Man. Mason Moore pitched a career-high 7.0 innings and recorded the first 19 outs before allowing a hit in game three against Kennesaw State this past weekend. He is the first Wildcat since 2021 to pitch at least seven innings, allowing one hit or less. He is also just the second to do so since 2018 when Justin Lewis pitched eight innings of one-hit ball against Florida. The Cats weren’t able to win the series, but Moore helped them get one win.
