KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

No. 8 Tennessee punched its ticket to the 2015 Women’s College World Series with a 2-1 victory over No. 9 Florida State on Friday in Game 3 of the Knoxville Super Regional.

Tennessee will make its seventh appearance in the Women’s College World Series. The Lady Vols have now advanced in seven of their eight Super Regional appearances and UT improves to 15-6 all-time in Super Regional games.

The 2015 NCAA Women’s College World Series will be held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium - OGE Energy Field in Oklahoma City, May 28 to June 3.

Rainey Gaffin (17-3) dominated in the circle in front of a packed house, fanning four over seven strong innings with one run allowed. Gaffin out-dueled Florida State ace and 2014 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Lacey Waldrop (28-7), who threw six frames with two runs allowed and seven strikeouts.

The Lady Vols bounced back from a 6-1 loss in Game 2 earlier in the day. Poland High School graduate Erin Gabriel (17-7) took the loss after giving up two runs in the first two innings.

McCutchen laughs off leaked pay stub

PITTSBURGH

Good thing Andrew McCutchen has direct deposit.

The Pittsburgh Pirates star centerfielder laughed off a leaked photo of his pay stub Friday, joking he can handle the attention so long as he still gets paid.

McCutchen’s two-week stub was left behind in the visitor’s clubhouse at Wrigley Field last weekend following a series with the Cubs. The four-time All-Star’s $10 million salary is public knowledge, but McCutchen allowed there’s a difference between seeing it in a story and seeing a pay check that looks just like yours, only with a lot more zeroes. McCutchen grossed $820,659.88 during the pay period, though he took home “only” $427,098.49 after taxes and put $1,500 toward his 401k plan.
