Senior right-hander Karlyn Pickens tossed her fourth career no-hitter Saturday at John Cropp Stadium, leading No. 9 Tennessee to a 5-0 shutout of Kentucky.
Pickens (11-4) struck out 12 and walked one in a complete-game performance. She has now thrown a no-hitter in each of her four seasons on Rocky Top. The effort marked Tennessee's first no-hitter against an SEC opponent since Ashley Rogers blanked Ole Miss on March 10, 2023.
It was the fifth no-hitter by the Lady Vols' pitching staff this season.
Emma Clarke, Elsa Morrison, Gabby Leach and Ella Dodge all homered for Tennessee (34-6, 10-6 SEC).
