TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Senior shortstop Meghan Gregg tallied a RBI double to center in helping lift No. 7 Tennessee to a 1-0 victory over No. 17 Alabama in game one of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon in front of a sold-out crowd at Rhodes Softball Stadium.
Tennessee (39-8 | 9-7 SEC) scored the game's lone run in the top of the third inning.

Scarlet McSwain finished the game 1-for-2 at the dish for Tennessee, respectfully.
