In game two, Kentucky raced out to a 5-0 lead behind strong pitching and timely hitting on offense.  The 2022 Tennessee team cut the lead to two heading into the final frame before Kentucky scratched two runs in the top of the 10th to take a 7-3 lead into the bottom half.  Tennessee managed to score three in the 10th before falling 7-6 in a late inning thriller.
