Kentucky is coming off a weekend series win over No. 18 Auburn in dramatic fashion as UK took games one and three with walk-off home runs off the bat of Renee Abernathy.

Ohio State is 20-6 on the season and sits 2-1 in Big Ten play thanks to a series win this weekend over the Indiana Hoosiers in Columbus. Ohio State has non-conference wins over Louisville, South Carolina, Miami and South Florida and sports an RPI of 25, making them a quad one team, the sixth different quad one team that Kentucky will face this season.
The Wildcats are 22-7 on the season and sit 3-3 through two Southeastern Conference series. UK travels to Baton Rouge to play LSU in a three-game set this weekend.
