DISPATCHES Potter play hopes for 2. BBC Culture releases list of 3. Stockholm attack suspect 1. Harry was told to leave the country films to watch in April magic at Olivier awards Producers of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” hope the play will work its magic on Sunday at British theater’s Olivier Awards, where it’s nominated in 11 categories including best new play.

Jamie Parker, who plays a grownup Harry in the stage sequel to J.K. Rowling’s wizarding saga, is nominated for best actor. Other nominations for “Cursed Child” include director John Tiffany; Noma Dumezweni, a supporting actress contender for playing the adult Hermione Granger; and supporting actor nominee Anthony Boyle, who plays Slytherin student Scorpius Malfoy.

BBC Culture released an article telling which nine films everyone should watch in April.

The list includes variety from multiple genres, from a biopic of Emily Dickinson called “A Quiet Passion” to the next film in the Fast and Furious series “The Fate of the Furious.”

Included, also, was the film “Get Out,” which Sight and Sound described as “a modern genre classic.” Furthermore, Anne Hathaway fans will get excited about “Colossal,” where she plays “a train wreck so obliviously selfish.”

Swedish police said that the 39-year-old Stockholm attack suspect was facing deportation due to his extremist sympathies. He applied for residency in June 2016 but was denied.

In December 2016, the suspect was told he had four weeks to leave the country, but he disappeared, police say. Another suspect is also being investigated for suspected involvement in the attack. On Sunday, April 9, around 20,000 people gathered at a “Lovefest” vigil in the center of Stockholm to show support for the victims of the attack.

On Aug. 21, 2017, at 2:32 p.m., the sun will be blotted out, and Knoxville will be immersed in darkness for approximately two to seven minutes.

This is the total solar eclipse.

UT professor Mark Littmann, Hill Chair of Excellence in Science Writing and author of four novels, gave a lecture at the weekly science forum on the upcoming 2017 solar eclipse. The lecture was titled, “Totality: The Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017,” and Littmann gave advice on viewing the total eclipse.

For the first time in 38 years, the path of totality, which allows for the total eclipse, is passing across the American mainland.

The 68-mile-wide path begins in Oregon and stretches diagonally across the nation until it ends in South Carolina, which places Knoxville just a few miles north of the path.

People who have witnessed the total solar eclipse describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed.

“I’m taking the day off just to see it. My home is right in the path of totality,” Cindy Lancaster, technology coordinator in the College of Information Sciences, said.

Littmann suggested Knoxville residents travel to the nearby cities of Cookeville, Crossville or Maryville to have optimal

views of the eclipse.

“The key is, don’t settle for Knoxville,” Littmann said. “It would be like going to your favorite musical and standing in the lobby. You can hear the excitement, but you miss the main event.”

Total eclipses have been a mystery to various ancient civilizations, including empires such as the Mayans and the Babylonians. Chinese mythology claimed the eclipse was caused by a great dragon that took bites out of the sun, and even the prehistoric monument Stonehenge in England aligns with the pattern of eclipses.

“They thought the world was coming to an end. That’s how shattering the solar eclipse can be,”Littmann said.

There are four stages of a total eclipse.

ing in midday. The second is marked by the moon’s approach and a pillar of darkness ascends in the west. At this night-like stage, a person may see Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter on the horizon.

The Baily’s beads effect is the third stage, which is when the sun is covered by the moon enough so only its light peaks through the outer edges, like a ring. The fourth, and most important, stage is the corona. It is whenthe sun is completely blotted out by moon. The corona only arises in total, not partial, eclipses, and it is unique every time.

Littmann recommended that total eclipse viewers purchase a pair of sunviewing glasses, which is made of paper similar to 3D glasses. Viewers should wear the glasses until the sun is completely overshadowed by the moon.

UT joins King University for dual major Shelby Whitehead “I’m really concerned right now with the refugee crisis. I’m worried that the current administration will deter people from supporting the admittance of refugees into our country. Most of these people just want a livelihood — a place to live, a place to work; and I think that we should support those efforts. The efforts of those taking in Middle Eastern refugees, but also inwards to our own resources to be able to accommodate them coming to stay.”

-Annalise Burkhart Sophomore in political science and Arabic studies Sarah Ali • The Daily Beacon

Staff Writer

UT and King University have taken to heart the phrase “two is better than one” when it comes to engineering.

The two universities designed a dual-degree engineering program that will begin this fall. King University, located in Bristol, Tennessee, collaborated with the UT Tickle College of Engineering to allow students to earn dual degrees from both universities in the time it takes to earn one degree.

William Linderman, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at King, has taught there for nearly 20 years and sees the value of combining the two programs.

“I have had several students pursue careers in engineering after graduating from King and then attend graduate school,” Linderman said. “The dual-degree arrangement between King and the Tickle College will provide a clear, structured path for students who are interested in engineering who would also like to spend their first few years as an undergraduate at a liberal arts institution.”

Students in the program will complete their first three years at King, enrolling in classes focused on communication and analysis, like chemistry and computer science.

At the end of their junior year, they will transfer approximately 96 credit hours from King to a

related engineering program at UT. Upon graduation, students will have a bachelor’s degree in applied science and mathematics from King and a bachelor’s degree in engineering from UT. “King and UT have had a long history of engineering dual degrees that was in place for brief stints in in the 1950s, 1960s and 1980s,” Matthew Roberts, vice president for academic affairs at King, said. “We are excited that UT and King are once again partnering.”

This partnership also creates an opportunity for King students to earn an engineering major in either chemical, industrial or biomedical fields that are not offered at King. Masood Parang, associate dean of academic and student affairs at Tickle College of Engineering, said the program will greatly aid qualified students.

“We in the Tickle College of Engineering would like to make engineering programs at UTK as available as possible to qualified students,” Parang said.

At this point, King students interested in the program must be admitted as a transfer student.

However, administrators at Tickle College hope to devise a criteria of direct enrollment that will allow King students guaranteed enrollment into specific engineering programs.

“The course equivalencies from King have been vetted and approved by UTK to transfer, so there will be no guess work if courses are eligible to transfer,” Roberts said.

Teenage sisters talk Bonnaroo, Rhythm N’ Blooms Jenna Butz

Arts & Culture Editor Eliza, Lucy and Roxy Abernathy are just 12, 14 and 17 years old, respectively, but the sister trio performed their pop rock at three different shows at Rhythm N’ Blooms this weekend. With an album release show coming up on May 12 at the Relix Variety Theatre, The Daily Beacon caught up with these Knoxville teenagers to talk playing three shows in one day, Bonnaroo and learning their limits.

n Talk to me about how you guys started playing together.

Eliza Abernathy: About a billion years ago.

Lucy Abernathy: Well actually, we started with another band member who is no longer playing with us.

Daily Beacon: Same band name?

LA: Same band name, yes.

EA: Actually, we started out at the Tigresses when we were like five.

LA: But it soon became the Pinklets. Her parents are musicians and our dad is a musician, and it just came about in the family.

EA: We were like, “I want to do that.”

LA: I’m pretty sure, if I’m remembering correctly and this was when we were like five and six and Roxy was probably seven, one of us literally said “Do you want to start a band?” I think those words were actually spoken.

EA: We would just record little like singles.

LA: Hilarious.

EA: We’d make really silly songs.

LA: We weren’t serious, obviously, and we didn’t know we were going to get serious.

n How do you go from playing together just as a family to making a

band that plays at the music festival on a main stage?

how did you manage three shows in one day?

EA: It kind of just escalated. We started out playing on a radio show that the former member’s dad had.

LA: Kidstuff on WDVX. EA: We played on that a lot, and people listened to that, I guess. We had just a few small shows, and then we got older..

LA: I think the thing that really kicked us off was Beaumont Rocks. We went to Beaumont Elementary School, and my mom and a few other parents and organizers organized this benefit for our school and let us play there. We weren’t playing huge gigs. We were playing birthday parties. We played at a petting zoo. It was fun. Just fun stuff. So, we played that.

EA: And we played it again the next year. Then we didn’t play it a year. Then we played it the year after we didn’t play it.

LA: After that, parents would want us to play at their kids’ birthday parties, and parents there would be like, “I’m organizing a benefit for this” so it sort of developed.

Once we played Waynestock, we got offered — it was just last year — we got offered Bonnaroo, and that sort of kicked everything into gear.

EA: It was less stressful than I thought it would be. It still had that little bit of stress.

LA: I’ve had a lot of problems with my voice in the past. You can tell right now it’s really hoarse and low. This isn’t my actual voice. You’re listening to the more masculine version of Lucy. This was really testing my limits.

EA: My fingers hurt. That’s my complaint.

LA: I can’t believe I agreed to do that and actually did it. I’m very proud of myself for doing that. And now I know my limits, and it’s two shows, not three.

EA: We had a lot of fun.

LA: We had so much fun today. I felt very professional.

n How was Bonnaroo?

LA: I think the best part about it was being able to experience the music festival.

We played a small stage there. It wasn’t a big deal. It was like every other show that we’ve played.

EA: But we kind of drew people in, and it just felt really good..

LA: There was a lot of energy. Like, they didn’t care what we played. They were just there to listen to music and experience the festival and learn about new music like us because no one knew us. I smiled at Josh Hutcherson. Put that in.

n How has the festival been, and

n What was your favorite part of performing today?

LA: Everyone was just so excited to be there that it made me feel so good, and my friends had just gotten there.

EA: I also liked the secret show. It was a small place, so after the show, you can actually talk to people ... It was kind of cute. And it was really fun. I had a good time. Good crowd, energetic.

LA: I tend to find that we really like playing shows like that. Like, I had fun at Jackson Terminal and I had fun at the first stage, but if I just had to play just those types of shows for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t be having fun.

n How did you come up with your style of music?

LA: I think after seven or eight or however many years we’ve been doing this, I think you grow into it. People ask us, they’re like, “What style of music do you play?” I’m like ...

EA: I say pop rock.

LA: I think we literally just grew into it.

EA: There are so many bands that we’ve heard. Music, this is going to sound really cliche, but music has been such a huge part of our lives. We’re always hearing music everywhere in our house. There’s always music playing. Lucy singing ... all the time.

n Some of your lyrics seem older than you guys are. How do you write music like that?

LA: So, at one show we played, there was this person who came up to us after the show and said, “That first song really resonated with me.” That got me really. I was like, “Dude, that’s a really sad song. Are you okay?” It made me realize that I think it’s easier for me to write about things I’ve never experienced before. Girl, I don’t know what love feels like. I’m like five. But not knowing what it feels like gives me more places to go with it because I don’t have this “Oh my god, that guy. I fell in love with him when he opened the door for (me). How do I feel?” and write that down. If you’ve never felt it...

EA: You can be more creative with it.

LA: It leaves more to the imagination, and I’ve never written a song about something in my life. It just doesn’t happen for me.

n So, your CD release show is May 12 at 7 p.m. at Relix Variety Theatre.

LA: Doors are at 7 p.m. Music starts at 8 p.m.

EA: Everyone’s invited.

LA: I’m just so excited, and I want to invite all of my friends because they’ve been there for me and been patient. All the time, I’m like, “Sorry, I can’t sleepover tonight. I have band practice,” then it got to this point of “We know. You’ve got band practice.” I’m just really excited to be surrounded by the people that made it happen and give this to them in return.

Rhythm N’ Blooms, a plea to please shut up Jenna Butz

Arts & Culture Editor This was my third year covering Knoxville’s beloved Americana music festival Rhythm N’ Blooms, and I have one major take away: please, shut up.

Okay, I’m not talking about when you’re walking from venue to venue or between sets or even at outdoor venues, where your conversation really can’t be heard. No, I’m talking about basically everywhere else.

On Saturday afternoon, I went to see singer-songwriter John Moreland at the Jackson Avenue Terminal, and this dude is quiet. It’s just him, his acoustic guitar and one other musician playing some dark, pretty quiet acoustic music.

It’s powerful though — if you actually listen.

Standing there, I found myself distracted and unable to enjoy Moreland’s artwork because of the rumble of conversations all around me.

Some people were talking about how some friends of theirs had bought cheap land outside of Nashville, and others were really wrapped up in some drama with their cycling teacher.

Sure, a music festival is a great place to hang out and catch up with friends, but for the love of God, please read the room. If the Royal Hounds are jamming out at the Pilot Light, it’s going to be way too loud for anyone to hear your conversation (and probably too loud for you to even have a conversation). If John Paul White is playing sad, acoustic songs, stop freaking talking.

It’s rude and straight-up tells the artist that you don’t care about the art they’ve worked so hard to create and perform for you. Even John Paul White noticed it during his set on Saturday, thanking those intently listening in the front.

“It means a lot to us up here,” he said, making a pointed comment to those gabbing in the back — who couldn’t even stop talking long enough

“

to notice that he had, subtly, called them out.

Also, why are you there if you don’t want to listen to the music that you paid to see? If you just want to talk, go to a bar or hang out at home. It’s definitely cheaper than a $75 weekend music festival pass plus however many Yee Haw Dunkels you have. Or if you’re at a show you don’t like so you’re talking through it instead, just leave. Go stand outside, walk around, head to a different show. No one’s keeping you at that exact performance, so just leave. Please.

Rhythm N’ Blooms is an Americana festival in East Tennessee. That means there’s going to be music that asks you to be quiet and just listen — folk, bluegrass, acoustic, etc. Read the room. Okay, maybe you don’t know the artist (seeing musicians you’ve never heard of is half the fun of attending music festivals), but take some time to feel them out before deciding if it’s appropriate to talk or not.

Or just don’t because you’re paying to see artists share their artwork with you and you should just listen.

But maybe that’s just me.

Rhythm N’ Blooms festival

showcases eclectic talent Jenna Butz

Arts & Culture Editor

Rhythm N’ Blooms 2017 closed out Sunday, April 9, and this year’s festival was full of mainstream pop rock, blues, dark acoustic and gypsy punk. With all the venues in Old City, it’s near impossible to catch them all. But Rhythm N’ Blooms is all about taking it slow, drinking plenty of beers and finding new favorites along the way — and that’s exactly how my Rhythm N’ Blooms went. Here are the weekend’s highlights.

Friday, April 7 After taking a nap to gear up for the night/weekend, I started my Rhythm N’ Blooms with Nikki Lane, an outlaw country singer from Nashville, on the Cripple Creek stage. I was already kind of a Lane fan, but seeing her live has turned me into a super fan. She kicked-off her set with “Highway Queen” from her latest record of the same name. Lane proved old-school country is alive and well, drinking wine out of a water bottle, singing with her mom and promising that not even 700,000 rednecks could make her stop.

From there, I caught the first of many secret shows as Pretentious Beer Glass Co. Ben Gaines and Cameron Moore, two of the six members of this Knoxville based funk Americana band, played a more acoustic set. Their set had a more Lumineers vibe, but Moore’s soulful voice brought Justin Timberlake feels to certain songs. No two songs sounded the same, and I couldn’t wait to see their full band.

I caught some of the night’s headliner, Dave Barnes, but honestly, Barnes was better suited for a more intimate venue. While Barnes is a talented musician with plenty of fans, his talent felt lost underneath the interstate. With the perfect venue right down the road, the singer-songwriter could have really showcased his art somewhere else.

Saturday, April 8 Saturday was all about finding new favorites, and Rhythm N’ Blooms is one of the best places to do that. I started with Daniel Miller in the Lonesome Dove courtyard, and walking into the festival, that was the first sound I heard. I couldn’t resist checking him out. This alt-country artist mixed his Appalachian background into his work, and Miller felt like an East Tennessee version of Chris Stapleton while still maintaining his own sound.

Then, I quickly popped in to see Birds of Chicago make playing a clarinet the coolest thing I’d ever seen before I met a friend at another secret show.

When rockabilly band, the Royal Hounds, took the secret show stage, I looked at my friend and said, “What is even happening?”

The band’s high energy, Elvis Presley influences and humor made it one of the weirdest, most fun shows I’d ever seen.

At the Jackson Terminal though, I experienced the exact opposite. Oklahoma singer-songwriter John Moreland was in the middle of his mostly acoustic set, accompanied by just one other musician.

Moreland’s music was raw and hurt in a way that I didn’t know music could hurt. “Farce the Music” called Moreland’s sound “gloriously and joyfully heartbreaking,” and no other description feels right.

Moreland’s rawness easily made him the best find of the weekend, and when his set was over, I felt like I’d come out of a trance.

Although, the highlight of the day was seeing half the reason I even wanted to go to Rhythm N’ Blooms this year: John Paul White. Half of former folk band the Civil Wars, White’s solo work is dark and brooding (similar to “Barton Hallow” Civil Wars) while still being delicate and emotional.

Sunday, April 9 Work got in the way of some of the earlier shows this day, but starting the evening with Ruby Amanfu + Steelism felt like going to church. It was Sunday, after all. Amanfu’s voice is somehow gritty but angelic, and Steelism’s innovative version of Americana created a listening experience that filled all the outdoor space of the Cripple Creek stage. From blues to rock to R&B, this set was a journey that I would have happily listened to all night.

Not wanting to miss one last secret show of the weekend, I caught the Pinklets, a band of teenage sisters from Knoxville.

At the bar, I heard one bartender tell his co-worker that they were probably the best band they’d had there all weekend, and I’d agree. For being 12, 14 and 17, these sisters knew a thing or two about epic solos and unapologetic rock music.

The weekend ended with headliners Young the Giant, and I was beyond pleasantly surprised. I’ve never been a huge fan of the California indie rock band, but their live show was too fun to be mad at.

Also, they sound way better live. If ending the weekend with dancing in a crowd of happy strangers doesn’t sum up Rhythm N’ Blooms, I don’t know what does.

Sex Week explores gender fluidity through art gallery Bryanne Brewer Copy Editor

Artistic interpretations of fluidity ended this semester’s Sex Week.

SEAT hosted it’s fifth annual Sex Week exhibition at Gallery 1010 on N Gay Street as a part of First Friday, a Knoxville tradition to celebrate and support local artists.

In previous years, the Sex Week exhibitions have explored topics such as orgasms, “butter my biscuit,� understanding sexual identity and being “loud and queer.� This year, SEAT chose fluidity to describe not only sexually fluid people but also fluids that are involved with sex.

All the art pieces were contributions from UT alumni and current UT students. “We put out a call throughout the school’s listserver email, and we received several submissions that way. Then, being artists ourselves, we knew a few of the artists that are here tonight,� curator Mark Bender said.

Curators Bender and MaryMargaret Lucas chose pieces they knew were “Sex Week appropriate� and adaptable to the idea of what it means to be fluid. “We wanted to bring out this inclusive idea to encourage a more inclusive community,� Bender said.

The exhibit consisted of 12 pieces in total, two of which were interactive installations. Most of the pieces were paintings, but there were a couple that were expressed in different mediums.

Many of the pieces were set up so that they could play off of each other, both meaning wise and visually. “I’m very satisfied. I think it’s a good collection of pieces,� Lucas said.

One of the interactive pieces consisted of a flip board by Paris Woodhull, a UT studio art student.

Once flipped around, the image and colors changed to reveal a different image altogether.

The other interactive piece was an installation from 4D and sculptural student, Reid Arowood. The piece was a sculptural element that resembled a vulva and a hand that made

an echoing noise whenever someone placed the hand into the vulva.

However, the piece that attracted the most attention and best captured the idea of fluidity was a small 8-by10 black and white photograph, easily the smallest piece in the room.

The photo was taken by supply chain management student Asafe Pereira and featured a curly-headed person (whose sex was unknown to the viewer) adjusting a bra-like top make of sparkly penises. “For me, looking at it, it kind of hits everything,� Bender said. “I don’t know. It’s smaller, but it fills the entire room.� “Fluid,� a Sex Week Exhibition, ended this spring’s Sex Week, but SEAT hopes to continue having Sex Week galleries for as long as they can.

Schwarber, Zobrist homer in Cubs’ 7-4 win over Brewers Associated Press MILWAUKEE (AP) — After scuffling offensively over the first four games, the Chicago Cubs will return home to raise the World Series championship banner suddenly potent at the plate.

Kyle Schwarber and Ben Zobrist hit home runs and Jake Arrieta threw seven strong innings as the Cubs got doubledigit hits for the second straight game and took the weekend series from the Milwaukee Brewers with a 7-4 victory Sunday.

Chicago scored four runs in the top of the first off Brewers starter Zach Davies (0-2) on a two-run double by Addison Russell and a two-run triple from Jason Heyward.

“Any time you can put early runs on the board, you have to take advantage of it,” Russell said. “It puts the pitcher at ease and gets us in that mode of swinging the bat and taking some good pitches, and we did that today.”

Arrieta (2-0) allowed just three hits with 10 strikeouts over seven innings, the only blemish on his line a three-run home

run hit by Ryan Braun in the third.

“It was a mistake and he made me pay for it,” Arrieta said. “But those things happen; bounce back. I don’t think I gave up a hit after that.”

The right-hander retired 13 of the 14 batters following Braun’s home run, including a stretch of five consecutive strikeouts.

“He was really good today,” Maddon said. “I thought great command of his fastball, really good curveball, outstanding curveball. He was just really on top of his game, I thought.”

Schwarber connected for a solo homer off Davies in the second, but the righthander did eventually settle in to set down 12 of the next 13 Cubs to get through the fifth inning.

“I was falling behind guys and leaving balls over the plate,” Davies said. “It was a terrible first inning, but I battled through it.”

Zobrist increased Chicago’s lead to 6-3 with a homer off reliever Carlos Torres as part of a two-run seventh.

Milwaukee did not get a hit after Braun’s home run in the third inning until Domingo Santana homered off Hector Rondon with two outs in the ninth. Cubs closer Wade Davis came on to get the

final out.

TIME TO CELEBRATE Following six road games to begin the season, the Cubs will open a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The Cubs will unveil the championship banner Monday and will receive their World Series rings in a pregame ceremony Wednesday.

“They’ll (fans) be out in force,” Maddon said. “It’s going to be raucous, it’s going to be a party for them. I love it. Our fans deserve it, they waited a long enough time. The reaction has been beyond spectacular.”

CALLED UP Milwaukee purchased the contract of RHP David Goforth before Sunday’s game.

To clear room on the 40-man roster, RHP Damien Magnifico was designated for assignment.

Goforth, who pitched a scoreless ninth Sunday, has now been called up eight times over the past three seasons.

TRAINER’S ROOM Cubs: 2B Javier Baez was not in the lineup, but it was not related to the outfield collision that occurred Friday. He entered at second base as part of a double switch in the eighth.

Brewers: Braun returned to the lineup after missing Saturday’s game with lower back tightness. OF Keon Broxton made his first start since suffering a nasal fracture after getting hit in the face with a pitch Thursday against Colorado. He entered Friday’s game as part of a double switch and pinch-hit on Saturday.

Manager Craig Counsell and assistant athletic trainer Dave Yeager attended to RHP Jacob Barnes after he fielded a bunt single by Jon Jay in the eighth. Barnes stayed in the game to toss a scoreless inning.

UP NEXT Cubs: LHP Jon Lester (0-0) will start Chicago’s home opener Monday against the Dodgers. He limited St. Louis to one run over five innings on opening day.

Lester is 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA in five career regular-season starts against the Dodgers.

Brewers: RHP Wily Peralta (1-0) will look to build upon his first start of the season when he faces Toronto on Tuesday.

He threw five scoreless innings against Colorado in a 6-1 victory April 5. Peralta has faced the Blue Jays once in his career, a no decision after surrendering four earned runs over six innings in July 2014.

Jordan’s first goal proves difference in win over Cincinnati Norris Eppes

Contributor With nine minutes left to play, Katie Cousins took a pass from Maddie Krejci and played it into the middle. Anna Bialczak sent Salera Jordan running into the Cincinnati box on a ball over the top of the Bearcats’ defense.

Jordan controlled, dribbled around the last center-back, and was one-on-one with the keeper. Two touches to her left opened the goal, and Jordan finished with power in the bottom left corner.

Jordan scored her first goal as a Volunteer as the team won a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. “(Jordan’s) defensive work for us up top was fantastic,” head coach Brian Pensky said. “Her ability to travel with the ball when we’re in possession, her hold up play, and the way she connected with the players around her was fantastic.

Rightfully so, she got the goal. She worked her tail off and did well from a technical and tactical standpoint.”

Cincinnati was the slightly more dominant side in the first half. They had seven shots to UT’s two. Five of Cincinnati’s shots were on target, but Shae Yanez, in goal for the Vols, never looked troubled. Cincinnati’s most dangerous attempts came from shots outside the box.

Early in the game, the Vols struggled to move the ball out of their own half in any concerted attack. The two times they did, however, were quite threatening. In the 18th minute Meghan

Flynn took the ball up the left flank. Her cross beat all of the Cincinnati defenders but was just over the head of Mady Hairston. It fell to the feet of Bialczak who hesitated before shooting.

That moment of hesitation was enough for the Cincinnati keeper to reposition herself in time to block the shot.

“In the first half we were really excited; so we were too focused about going forward,” Jordan said. “We wanted to attack in any way. At halftime we talked about calming down and playing the way we know how to play. We can play really creative soccer when we calm down.”

On defense, the Vols had their center-backs — Kathryn Culhane and Mackenzie Gouner — to thank on a number of occasions. Both players stopped numerous long ball attacks from Cincinnati with good positioning and well-timed headers away.

“With about 10 or 15 left in the first half, we adjusted our shape,” Pensky said. “(Cincinnati’s) shape was causing us lots of problems. Our new shape allowed us to defend higher up the field.

From an attacking standpoint, that meant that good things would happen. The players took that information at half-time and ran with it.”

The second half began with far more energy from the Vols. Cousins, who had gone off in the first half after being hurt by a cross, was back in UT’s midfield. Within 15 minutes of the restart, the Vols had firm control of the game.

Their built-up play strung together more than 20 passes and resulted in a powerful shot from Jordan off Bialczak’s pass that was saved by the Bearcats’ keeper.

The Vols controlled the last 30 minutes of

McSwain goes off in Vols sweep of No. 20 Kentucky Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor If Scarlett McSwain had her choice, she’d face the Kentucky Wildcats in every game of the season.

The junior had a smoking hot weekend series against the Cats, batting .500 over the course of the series with 10 RBIs and a grand slam in the first inning of the final game on Sunday, April 9.

McSwain helped, but the Vols softball team ultimately had no trouble handling the Wildcats in a three-game sweep from Friday to Sunday, including a 9-0 run-rule victory on Friday that propelled them to outscore No. 20 Kentucky a combined 23-6 over the weekend.

The Vols (35-5, 9-3 SEC) run-ruled the Cats (24-11, 5-7) on Friday thanks to three RBIs from

McSwain and two from Meghan Gregg.

The second game was much closer but still garnered the same result. The Vols scored four runs in the first three innings as McSwain brought home two runs with a single in the first inning.

However, multiple Golden Glove-level plays from the Vols defense was what kept Tennessee in the driver’s seat. Two of those catches came from junior outfielder CJ McClain, one being a diving catch in front of her and the other being an over-the-shoulder basket catch.

“The key to the game today was our defense,” co-head coach Karen Weekly said on Saturday.

“We don’t keep the stat like they do in Major League Baseball to determine how a defensive player affects the game and affects the outcome, but if we did, CJ McClain’s numbers would be off the charts.”

The final game ended up being McSwain’s

best, as a grand slam in the first inning and an RBI single in the second set the tone for the Vols.

Although McSwain’s bat brought in nearly half of the Vols’ runs, the pitching staff remained locked down against Kentucky. Matty Moss started the first game of the series and was stellar, allowing only two hits and fanning three batters.

However, Saturday and Sunday were Caylan Arnold’s days, as the freshman righty started both days pitched a combined eight innings over both days while allowing 11 hits, three runs and struck out 10.

Arnold didn’t get the win on Saturday – that honor went to Moss, who came in to pitch the remaining four innings of that game – but Arnold did pull out a win on Sunday after striking out nine and allowing three runs.

She did, however, walk five batters as the coaching staff and UT fans argued throughout

the day about the questionable strike zone.

“I told her that she’d get games like this where the umpire might be a little tight. You just gotta throw the ball over the plate and let your defense play,” assistant coach Marty McDaniel said after the win on Sunday. “The main thing is, they just gotta get used to it … I also told her that, in regionals, this is the type of strike zone you’re going to get.”

With the wins, the Vols are now riding a 14-game winning streak, their longest of the season. The team will look to extend that streak this Tuesday in a home doubleheader against Tennessee State at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

The Vols will play their next conference foe on Easter weekend, April 15-17, after getting Good Friday off. The Alabama Crimson Tide will come to town to take on the Vols, and those games are slated to start at 6 p.m. on Saturday, 7 p.m. on Sunday and 7 p.m. on Monday.

Vols show resiliency in series win over Gators Staff Report Going into Gainesville, the Tennessee baseball team was coming off of a midweek loss to Middle Tennessee State and had yet to win a series in the SEC. However, the Vols showed the tough character that head coach Dave Serrano had been searching for all SEC play.

The Vols won the first two games of the series in Gainesville, giving them their first series win over the Gators in Gainesville since 2007.

“For them to stick together and come over here and win the first two games at Florida just shows the character that I always thought was there,” Serrano said.

The Vols took game one by a score of 7-6, game two 3-2 and lost Sunday’s matchup 5-4.

Each game was close and tight and was won by just one run. The pitching battles were one of the main things to look for in the series, and they did not disappoint.

Hunter Martin and Garrett Stallings each pitched a career high in innings with 7.1 and 6.1 innings pitched respectively.

For game three, coach Serrano was unsure of

Dom Thornton, #26, during the game against Georgia at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on April 1, 2017. Adrien Terricabras • The Daily Beacon who his starter would be even the night before the game, but there were options available.

Zach Linginfelter got the start on Sunday and didn’t pitch his best outing, as he only pitched 2.1 innings while giving up two runs.

Linginfelter had also pitched 1.2 innings on Friday’s games so he likely wasn’t expected to

pitch deep into Sunday’s game.

The bullpen failed to disappoint in the wins as well. It was made evident this weekend how essential the bullpen is to this team’s success.

In the two wins, the bullpen gave up no runs over 6.1 innings while in the loss, they gave up three runs.

Jon Lipinski, Linginfelter and Andrew Schultz helped shut down the gators offense in the first two games. Will Neely gave up three runs on Sunday, but Zach Warren and Eric Freeman kept the Vols in the game after his departure.

“What can you say about Jon Lipinski? He’s really taken a leadership role with this team, and he’s continued to carry that onto the field,” Serrano said.

Florida threw three pitchers at the Vols with sub 3.00 earned run averages and the hitters were ready to step up to the plate.

The Vols’ lineup had a player finish with multi-hits eight times in the series, including a 13-hit evening in Friday.

Benito Santiago was one of the bigger surprises on the weekend, as he continues to hit better. He tied for the team-high with five hits, scored in every game in the series and had two rbi’s, including the game winner on Saturday.

Going forward, the series win over the No. 7 ranked team in the country should serve as a momentum booster.

“I reminded them that we have to leave here feeling good,” Serrano said. “We got to get home and get back to work and go to East Tennessee Tuesday, play good baseball and prepare for Auburn coming in.”
