Starting pitching wasn’t exactly a strength for the Arkansas softball team on the weekend. And after getting away with it in the second game of the weekend series against Kentucky, the Wildcats ensured no second would come to fruition.
The 20th-ranked Cats beat Arkansas, 3-1, on Sunday in the finale of the three-game set. The Razorbacks took the series, still, two games to one and are tied for third in the SEC with three weekends left in the regular season.
Kentucky sent Arkansas starter Callie Turner to the proverbial showers quickly. The junior left-hander pitched just 1 1/3 innings, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks. Robyn Herron and Chenise Delce worked the 4 2/3 innings, but the hole was already too big.
Kennedy Sullivan pitched a complete game for Kentucky. She only struck out two Arkansas batters, but gave up only one extra-base hit of her six allowe. She also didn’t walk a single hitter.
Arkansas is back in action quickly as they zip down the road to Bowling Green to play a one-off game against Western Kentucky.
