Kentucky (27-23) will conclude its home schedule on Tuesday, before venturing to face Missouri in the final three-game series of the 2015 season. UK has clinched its school-record tying fourth consecutive Southeastern Conference Tournament berth, equaling the 1993-96 teams, which will begin on Tuesday, May 19 in Hoover, Ala.
The Wildcats are coming off a four-game week, starting with a midweek loss to No. 2 Louisville on Wednesday, before suffering a series setback vs. Georgia on the weekend. UK won the opener, 6-2, before suffering a 12-3 loss on Saturday and a 6-1 10-inning loss in the rubber match after taking the game into the ninth with a 1-0 lead.
Northern Kentucky (17-30) is coming off a series sweep at Florida Gulf Coast. The Norse have hit .276 as a team with 228 runs in 47 games, belting 27 homers and stealing 53 bases.
