Softball Cats to Super Regionals

[maysvilleky]

Ladies defeat Notre Dame 7-0 and then 4-0 to advance to Super Regionals. Great effort after losing to ND 12-3 earlier in the Regional.

UK will get another chance against Alabama.

Gutsy. Lawson continues to do work.

When, where and who we play next?

I believe it’s a best of three series against Alabama next weekend. Thur - Sat or Fri - Sun. Not yet determined.

Thanks Mays.

FYI...during the reg season UK took 2-3 from AL. Then they lost to them in the SECT. So they are 2-2 against them going into this weekend.

My guess is that they will see Montana Fouts at least twice in the series.

Lawson has built a really solid program at UK. Has kind of hit a wall of losing in supers and really needs to start landing more elite pitchers if they want to take that next step. Nonetheless she’s a great coach and person running the program.

It's true that we have only one WCWS, but we would die for this kind of consistency in other sports (ahem, men's baseball?). It seems like the women's sports have more of an established hierarchy that rarely seems to change (e.g. UCONN dominates women's bball every single year). So, UK has broken into the club, but now has to tick it up just a notch to get into the very top tier with the likes of Oklahoma, Alabama, etc.

Pitching is the key. Not sure who’s in the pipeline to replace Humes and Baalman.

They have two pitchers ranked in the Top 40 in their recruiting class.

Home Run Abernathy! 2-0 Cats!

Bama with a bases clearing triple. Cats down 3-2.

Tough one to lose! 4-3 with bases loaded in t7th and can't plate anybody and game ends on a strikeout looking.
