LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Jenna Blanton hit her first-career home run and went 3-for-4 at the plate with four runs batted in and Erin Coffel hit a grand slam, knocking in five runs during the game as No. 17 Kentucky beat Bellarmine 13-4 on Wednesday afternoon in Louisville.
Kentucky’s offense exploded for 13 runs on 11 hits, with every UK starter in Wednesday’s contest reaching base in the game. The Wildcats had runs in the first, second, third and seventh innings to complete the win, as UK won the first game between the Knights and a power-five team at Bellarmine.
With Wednesday’s win, Kentucky improves to 25-10-1 on the year. Bellarmine falls to 4-32 with the loss. Kentucky will host No. 7/8 Tennessee this weekend at John Cropp Stadium beginning Friday night at 6:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network+ and the ESPN app. All three games are close to a sellout with extremely limited tickets remaining, so fans need to buy tickets now before it’s too late.
