Tennessee softball went out to California for the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic and rewrote the school record book this past weekend.
From Karlyn Pickens tossing a perfect game to Kiki Milloy breaking the career home runs record, it was a memorable trip out west.
Here’s the rundown from the week of softball.
TALK ABOUT IT IN THE ROCKY TOP FORUM
Game one in the trip out west was eventful. While taking down Loyola Marymount 4-0, Milloy’s blast to left not only provided insurance but also etched her name into the record book.
The home run marked No. 58 in her career which passed Meghan Gregg for the most in school history. She also holds the single-season home run record after breaking it in 2023.
This wasn’t the only history made on Friday, though. Pickens would go all seven innings without allowing a single runner and completing the perfect game. She struck out 12 in the effort.
Pickens now joins Monica Abbott and Erin Gabriel as the only Lady Vols to have thrown multiple perfect games in their Tennessee career.
The second game on Friday didn’t go as planned. Against Cal State Fullerton, the bats slowed down and the pitching couldn’t limit things in the field.
Tennessee struck first with a Taylor Pannell home run in the second but gave up 11 runs in the final four innings before being run-ruled.
Payton Gottshall was handed the loss in the circle after starting the game and throwing 3.2 innings and allowing six runs (three earned) on six hits.
Tennessee bounced back strong the next day, though. It took down Oregon State 6-1 with Gottshall back in the circle.
She threw a complete game and allowed one run on four hits while striking out nine. This improved her record to 3-2 on the season.

At the plate, home runs from Milloy, Rylie West and Sophia Nugent helped create the five-run difference in the game.
Tennessee wrapped up Saturday with a second win. Against UCF, the Lady Vols used a shutout to come out on top.
It was once again Pickens dominating on the rubber. She threw the complete game shutout despite allowing six hits. Her 14 strikeouts were a career-high as batters struggled to put the ball in play.
Pannell’s two-RBI double and a fielding error on a ball hit by McKenna Gibson are what gave Tennessee its three runs in the win.
Sunday featured a dominating win to get the day started. Against Hawai’i an effective approach at the plate and in the circle got the job done.
Tennessee would jump to an 8-0 lead through three innings before allowing a run. Home runs by West and Zaida Puni helped reach the mark.
The Lady Vols used both Ryleigh White and Charli Orsini in the circle with Orsini earning the win. They combined to allow just two runs on eight hits.
Tennessee’s win streak came to an end in the final game of the trip. No. 19 UCLA got the best of the Lady Vols with Pickens and Gottshall pitching.
The Bruins produced six runs with two home runs and nine hits. The pair did strike out eight in six innings of work.
At the plate, Destiny Rodriguez homered to start the game but the Lady Vols’ only other run was a Nugent bomb in the fourth inning.
Overall, it was a 4-2 trip to California with a five-game stretch at home next weekend.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WCYB) — The Washington County, Tennessee Isaiah 117 House hosted a fundraiser event Tuesday to help support area children who are entering the foster care system.
The event took at Boones Creek Christian Church where organizers hope to raise around $20,000 to go towards funds for the house and raise awareness for the organization.
The organization which began in the Tri-Cities now has more than 60 houses in 13 states.
The group helps care for children who are entering foster care while they are waiting on their foster placement.
“We feel like we have an obligation to continue to do this for the generations to come, for the children who haven’t been born yet,” Washington County Isaiah 1:17 House Support Coordinator Katie Wilt said. “We know they are going to need us. We wish they didn’t but we know that they are, so part of this luncheon is to fundraise to make sure that we are able to sustain the care and the hope for the children of the future.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Gov. Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee have wrapped up a yearlong, statewide America 250 tour that spotlighted Tennessee’s role in the nation’s history.
The tour, themed “Tennessee: The Original Frontier”, highlighted people, places and events tied to Tennessee’s contributions to America. Over the past year, Lee visited all 95 counties as part of the effort to commemorate the milestone with Tennesseans across the state.
Over the past year, Maria and I have traveled from Mountain City to Memphis, and we’ve been reminded that our state’s greatest strength is its people,” Lee said. “As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, Tennesseans can take pride in the Volunteer Spirit carried forward in the individuals, communities, and stories that have helped shape our nation from the very beginning.
The tour concluded in Van Buren County at the same venue where Lee held his first gubernatorial campaign event in 2017, returning to the place where his statewide journey began.
