Kentucky Softball falls to Virginia Tech; sets up decisive elimination game

Kentucky Softball dropped Sunday’s game against Virginia Tech, but the ‘Cats will still have another shot later in the day to secure a spot in the Super Regionals.

UK was outplayed by the 3-seeded Hokies in the Blacksburg Regional, falling 9-2 in what was the first game of a two-game series. The bracket is double-elimination, so the two sides will face off again in roughly 30 minutes with the winner moving on to the Super Regionals and the loser knocked out of the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky smacked Miami (OH) on Friday and then came back to take down Virginia Tech in the first meeting on Saturday to make it this far, but now they’re on the brink of being eliminated.
