Kentucky softball wrapped up the 40th edition of the NFCA Leadoff Classic with an undefeated record, finishing 2-0-1 in an opening weekend that included mercy rules, cancellations and controversy.
The Classic, which took place in Clearwater, Florida, pitted the Cats alongside several high-profile teams including Louisville, Tennessee and Texas.
While the Cats finished second in the Classic, bested by the Vols in terms of record, head coach Rachel Lawson’s group left with plenty of positives to relish in, despite the controversial finale against Texas.
The Wildcats efficiently dispatched St. Johns, their first opponent on Friday, in a game which ended as a 14-4 blowout.
