In the midst of an offensive drought, UK softball (27-13) looks to bounce back in its one-game trip to face Eastern Kentucky on Wednesday in Richmond, Ky.
The Cats were swept in their last series against No. 3 Florida, scoring a combined three runs in three games. Junior right-hander Kelsey Nunley took two losses against the Gators despite pitching two complete games and giving up only three total runs.
Nunley is 11-9 on the season, but has a career-low earned run average of 1.86. The team has only scored seven runs in her last five starts, recording just one win in that stretch.
