The UK softball team swept #8 LSU in Baton Rouge, jumps back in SEC race.
It’s Tuesday, ladies and gentlemen of the Big Blue Nation. Today’s big story is the Kentucky Wildcats softball team, known around these parts as the Hittin’ Kittens. The #15-ranked Wildcats swept the #8 LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, with Kelsey Nunley (who else) starring as the Wildcats shut out the Tigers for three straight games, including a complete-game shutout in the series finale.
After being swept at home by the #3 Auburn Tigers last week, this series was a remarkable bounce-back effort that puts Kentucky right back in the SEC race at 11-4, with only one more loss than 12-3 Florida and 9-3 Auburn.
