No. 8 Kentucky Travels West to Face Louisville on Tuesday

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Following its third-straight Southeastern Conference series win this weekend over Ole Miss, the No. 8 Kentucky Softball team will travel west to face off against Louisville Tuesday night at Ulmer Stadium.
 
The game will begin at 6 p.m. ET and will be broadcasted on ACC Network Extra, ESPN+ and the ESPN app with Suzanne Bush and Joanna Lane on the call from the Derby City.
 
Tickets for the game for fans who had them last week will still be honored Tuesday. Tickets are available through the UofL ticket office.
 
Kentucky leads the all-time series with Louisville 21-20. The Wildcats won the game in 2021 on a walk-off sacrifice fly off the bat of Lauren Johnson in nine innings.

Louisville, led by Holly Aprile, is 21-16 on the year with a 5-7 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The Cards won their series with North Carolina this weekend by virtue of wins in games one and three.
