Kentucky softball takes two of three games against the Auburn Tigers

Kentucky softball takes two out of three games against Auburn.

After a slow start in SEC play, the Kentucky softball team has now won two consecutive series against SEC opponents. Last week, they won two of three versus the Georgia Bulldogs, and this past weekend, they took two out of three games against the Auburn Tigers.

In game one, the Cats fell behind 2 – 0, but Peyton Plotts answered in the fifth inning with a go-ahead three-run homerun. Taylor Ebbs stayed red hot, and homered in the seventh and Kentucky won 5 – 2.

Game two was a pitching duel. Syndey Langdon went all seven innings, surrendering just two hits and one run. Karissa Hamilton supplied the runs, driving in the only two Kentucky scored, but it held up. Kentucky won it 2 – 1.

The final game was played on Monday. Erin Coffel hit a solo homerun to put the Wildcats up early, but that would be all for the offense. Auburn would tie it in the second inning, and go on to win it 4 – 1.

Kentucky’s record now stands at 29 – 16 overall, and 7 – 11 in conference play. Another SEC opponent is up next when they Cats host South Carolina for a three-game set. Game one is Friday at 6:30 PM ET.
