KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Indiana (43-17) fell, 9-1, in five innings against No. 4 Tennessee in game two of the NCAA Knoxville Regional at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.

KEY MOMENTS

Big Ten Player and Freshman of the Year Taryn Kern hit a solo shot to center field in the top of the first to put the Hoosiers on the scoreboard early. Tennessee responded in the bottom half of the inning with a pair of home runs to take a 3-1 lead.
The Lady Vols tacked on two more in the bottom of the second on a Kiki Milloy 2-run home run. The Hoosiers would load the bases in the top of the third, but rain would send the game into a five-hour delay. Resuming at 7:14 p.m. ET, Tennessee would end the inning on a strikeout.
A short rain delay ensued in the bottom of the fourth as the Hoosiers went three up, three down in their half of the frame. Tennessee tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the fourth and retired the side in the top of the fifth to issue the run-rule.

NOTEABLES

Kern tied the Big Ten record for most home runs by a freshman with 23.
