Ashley Rogers has pitched 23 postseason innings for Tennessee this month.
Opponents are still trying to scratch and claw their way to a run.
The former Meigs County High School standout was dominant yet again Saturday afternoon in the Knoxville Regional of the NCAA softball tournament, allowing two hits while striking out eight in a complete-game gem as the Lady Volunteers blanked Oregon State 3-0. The 5-foot-10 senior pitched three hitless innings Friday night to wrap up a 9-1 run-rule rout of Campbell.
“Ashley threw 88 pitches and almost had a no-hitter,” Tennessee coach Karen Weekly said. “It was just a brilliant performance.”
Rogers, of course, was beyond brilliant in the Southeastern Conference tournament against Mississippi State on May 12, when she allowed three hits in 161 pitches during a 1-0 Tennessee triumph in 13 innings.
