Tennessee faced Arizona losing a heartbreaker as Arizona hit a walk-off homerun with two outs in the bottom of the 7th. Tennessee faced Arizona's top lefty who stayed consistently in the upper 80's - low 90's until he was relieved in the 6th. Tennessee jumped ahead 3-0 after the 1st inning but did not score again until the 6th. Casey Dykes had a huge two out RBI single in the top of the 7th to tie the game and force the bottom half of the inning. Tennessee started Farragut standout Matt Ramsey who pitched well until he turned it over to the bullpen in the 5th. Ramsey struck out 4 mixing in a great slider with a fastball that reached 90. Seth Lintz
came on in relief but gave up two homeruns that proved to be the difference. Tennessee was scheduled to play Canada later in the day but the game was called after 3 innings due to heavy rains.
