TEMPE, Ariz. -- The No. 11 Tennessee softball team scored three runs in the first inning and three more in the third to claim a 6-0 victory over UC Davis on Saturday at the Kajikawa Classic.

With the win, the Lady Vols (5-0) begin their schedule with five consecutive victories for the second season in a row. Caylan Arnold and Matty Moss put together a combined effort on the mound, with Arnold (1-0) allowing one hit and striking out four batters through three innings, and Moss yielding two hits while striking out seven over four innings.

The Lady Vols wasted no time showcasing their offensive firepower, as they scored three runs in the top of the first inning. Aubrey Leach got things going with a leadoff walk and after she advanced to third via a stolen base and passed ball, Cailin Hannon singled and stole to get two runners in scoring position. Sophomore Chelsea Seggern stepped in next and took a 1-2 pitch over the right field fence to put UT ahead, 3-0.

Meghan Gregg led off the third inning with a single up the middle. After Seggern flied out to left field, Scarlet McSwain continued her hot start to the season with her third home run of the tournament that gave Tennessee a five-run lead. Freshman Ashley Morgan followed up McSwain with her first homer in the orange and white, a solo shot that made it 6-0 in favor of the Lady Vols. Morgan finished 2-for-3 on the day.

Up Next: Tennessee wraps up the Kajikawa Classic at 4 p.m. EST on Saturday when it takes on No. 15 Utah.
