Kentucky softball closes out the season with a disappointing series at Texas
A disappointing regular season for the Kentucky Wildcats softball team ended on Sunday with a loss to the Texas Longhorns. The defeat finished off a sweep by Texas, and marked a fourth straight loss to close things out.
In game one of the series, Texas took control with a six-run third inning. A Peyton Plotts solo homerun accounted for Kentucky’s only scoring in the 9-1 loss.
Game two was a close one. The Wildcats jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but Texas tied it with three homers in the third inning. In the sixth, the Longhorns took a two-run lead, and the Wildcats scored one, but still took a 7-6 loss.
The finale on Sunday was another blowout. Texas scored three times in the first inning, then poured in seven more runs in the second. It was 12-1 after three innings, and the final would be 12-3.
Kentucky finishes the regular season with a 29-25 record overall. They were 7-17 in the SEC. Up next is the SEC Tournament, where they will be the number 13 seed and will face the Georgia Bulldogs in round one.
