Kentucky jetted out to a 3-0 lead thanks to an RBI double in the bottom of the first from Peyton Plotts and then two RBI hits from Maddy Clark and Allie Blum in the second inning to give UK the front foot. Ole Miss just three hits through the first five innings, but took advantage of two Kentucky errors in the sixth inning to score four runs and took a 6-3 lead.
The Wildcats managed to score a run in the seventh inning as Lauryn Borzilleri put a ball the other way to score Maddy Clark, who tripled with two outs to extend the game, but a strikeout ended the game with the tying run at the plate.
