Kentucky softball set to face Northwestern on Saturday for spot in Regional

It’ll be a Wildcats vs. Wildcats matchup with a shot at the Evanston Regional on Saturday afternoon.

Not long after Kentucky softball took down the Miami (OH) Redhawks in six innings 9-1 on Friday behind a late offensive explosion, No. 12 Northwestern squeaked out a 2-0 win over Eastern Illinois, setting the stage for tomorrow’s showdown. Saturday’s first pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST in Evanston, IL, and will be streamed live on the ESPN app.

The winner of Kentucky vs. Northwestern will advance to the Evanston Regional of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
