[B]The Kentucky softball team[/B] (31-25) owned a 1-0 lead in the 7th and final inning of a battle against LSU in the Southeastern Conference Tournament when a severe thunderstorm moved into the area.
the game was halted for a 3 hour and 33 minute delay before play resume.
Following the long interruption, UK’s Rachel Riley retired the first two LSU batters in the bottom of the 7th inning. The third batter doubled to put a runner on and LSU’s Kristen Shortridge nailed a 2-run game-winning walk-off homer to break the hearts of the UK women.
Kentucky will now be forced to wait to see if it has earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament.
