Taking a 1-0 lead into the final inning on Sunday, the University of Kentucky softball team was on the verge of knocking off No. 6 Georgia for its second Southeastern Conference series win of the season.
But the top scoring offense in the SEC broke through just in time to spoil the Cats’ afternoon. Georgia scored three runs in the top of the seventh to knock off No. 18 UK 3-1 at John Cropp Stadium.
It was a tough-luck series for freshman pitcher Grace Baalman. She took the loss in Friday’s opener, which Georgia won 1-0 as Baalman pitched a complete game and allowed just three hits.
