What’s at Stake?
Kentucky sits at 21-13 (5-5 SEC), while Arkansas is 24-7 (4-6 SEC). A win would help the Wildcats stay in the mix for a top spot in the SEC standings while avoiding a series loss. The Cats need a win to get above .500 league play and try to set up a rubber match on Sunday. Kentucky will need some better pitching, much like the baseball team. If they do, it seems the offense can score enough runs.
Game 1 Recap
Arkansas jumped ahead early with a four-run first inning, capitalizing on timely hits and a pair of hit batters. Kentucky responded in the fifth when Allie Blum crushed a three-run homer, cutting the deficit to one, but the Razorbacks tacked on an insurance run in the bottom half. The Wildcats managed just one hit the rest of the way as Arkansas closed it out.
