Louisville softball (28-15) defeated rival Kentucky (26-18) in a Wednesday-night thriller at Ulmer Stadium. After four lead changes and two ties, the Cardinals came out on top 8-7 in a walk-off victory.
With the 7-7 score in the bottom of the seventh, junior Celene Funke and senior Sidney Melton hit back-to-back singles to put Funke in scoring position. Freshman Taylor Roby then smacked one into centerfield, driving Funke home for the 8-7 win.
“It was a great game to play,” head coach Holly April said. “I think our fan support is awesome and it is just so much fun to play in this park.
