NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sophomore Lauryn Borzilleri pelted three RBI hits, including a pair of two-RBI doubles and an RBI single Wednesday afternoon as No. 23 Kentucky run-ruled the Lipscomb Bisons 9-0 in six innings.
Stephanie Schoonover pitched a complete-game shutout, striking out nine batters and walking just two as the Bisons only recorded three hits all afternoon and a Lipscomb runner never got to third in the contest. With the win, Schoonover improves to 9-3 on the season in the circle and dropped her season ERA to 1.53 after Wednesday’s performance.
Kentucky had 17 hits on the afternoon, a new season-high figure with two or more hits in five of the six innings played. UK put up crooked numbers in three innings, the second, third and sixth as the Wildcats had one of their best offensive outputs of the season.
Kentucky will turn around this weekend and host the 2024 John Cropp Classic in Lexington, which has had an altered schedule and will begin Thursday with games at 3 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. ET. Ohio State will play South Dakota State at 3 p.m. followed by Kentucky facing the Jackrabbits at 6 p.m. ET.
UK improves to 15-7 on the year with the win. Lipscomb falls to 10-15.
