Tennessee Lady Vols softball senior Meghan Gregg set a new school record in dramatic fashion Saturday night, with a walk-off, hit-by-pitch RBI in a 1-0 win over Georgia.

Tennessee pitchers Caylan Arnold (4 innings) and Matty Moss (14-1) combined to prevent the Bulldogs from getting a runner to second base before an overflow capacity crowd listed at 2,292 at Less Stadium. Gregg also doubled earlier in the game off Georgia ace Brittany Gray (15-1), who went the distance allowing just two hits while fanning five and walking four. Gregg, who entered the game leading the nation with 50 RBIs, passed Tonya Callahan (2005-08) with 242 RBIs. Gregg is one home run away from tying Callahan for all-time home runs at Tennessee (51). The Lady Vols play Georgia at 5 p.m. on Easter Sunday and conclude the series at 7 p.m. on Monday. Both games are on the SEC Network.
