No. 15 Kentucky (23-9-1) kicked off its fourth SEC series on Friday with a 4-3 win over Ole Miss (22-17) at the Ole Miss Softball Complex in Oxford, Mississippi.

The win brings Kentucky’s conference record to 6-4 after losing back-to-back weekend series to No. 19 Texas A&M (22-13) and No. 10 Georgia (30-7).

Kentucky would start slow in the top of the first, with junior Erin Coffel being the only Wildcat to reach base after being hit by a pitch.

Graduate student Kennedy Sullivan would start on the mound for Kentucky, recording her first strikeout of the game as she retired the side in the bottom of the first.
