STARKVILLE, Miss. – The Kentucky Softball team saw a five-run lead evaporate in the final two innings as Mississippi State scored the final 10 runs of the game in its last two at bats to come from behind, secure the series, and beat No. 22 Kentucky, 12-6 on Saturday afternoon.
The game was called after six innings due to weather moving into the Starkville, Mississippi area with both teams agreeing to end the contest prematurely in conjunction with the league office in Birmingham.
The win for Mississippi State puts the Bulldogs just one win away from postseason eligibility after not having won an Southeastern Conference game since opening weekend in March. The Bulldogs improve to 26-22 overall, four games above the .500 mark and are now 5-14 in the SEC. Kentucky drops its seventh SEC game in its last nine and is 27-17-1 and 8-12 in the league.
Game three of the series will be Sunday at 1 p.m. ET/Noon CT live on the SEC Network+, ESPN3 and the ESPN app. It will be the final regular season road game for Kentucky.
