Kentucky Softball Crushed in Must-Win Game as Season Comes to an End

And that’s a wrap on the Kentucky softball season.

After winning game one of the Evanston Regional at the 2023 NCAA Tournament on Friday, the Wildcats faced No. 12 Northwestern on Saturday afternoon and fell 10-8. Following the loss at Sharon J. Drysdale Field, the ‘Cats went into an elimination game later that day at 7:00 p.m. where they took on Miami (OH) — which UK had already bested on Friday 9-1 in six innings.

In the rematch against Miami on Saturday night, the Redhawks came out swinging, got up early, and held a lead all game to get the 9-0 shutout victory over UK in just five innings.
