Sports News Analysis: Herd Softball Looks Ahead After Season Cut Short Due to COVID-19

Looking Back:

On Wednesday, March 11, the Marshall University Thundering Herd softball team traveled the just about two-hour trip to take on the No. 11 ranked University of Kentucky Wildcats, in what would be one of the Herd’s best games of the season—unfortunately also its last.

The back-and-forth affair saw a total of 27 hits and 31 runs scored, but saw the Wildcats ultimately take the win, 16-15. That game showed the Herd sitting at 18-6 could really play with tough opponents, especially with Conference USA action set to begin just days later.

The Herd finished the shortened season with an 18-7 record, 5-1 at home, 9-2 at neutral sites and 4-4 away.
