SB Preview: Fall Ball vs. Kentucky

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Fall ball action rolls on for Tennessee softball as it is slated to play border rival Kentucky on Saturday at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET. Admission is free for all fall contests at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. Gates will open one hour prior to first pitch. Restrooms will be open, but concessions will not be available for fall softball games.

The Lady Vols enter the contest 3-0 this fall after wins over Georgia Tech (9-0), Lipscomb (9-1) and Walters State (15-0) last weekend.

The Wildcats have played one game this fall – a 20-3 victory over Eastern Kentucky – with their second scheduled game being canceled due to weather.

Saturday’s meeting is the first of two between the rivals this fall. Tennessee will travel to Lexington on Oct. 20 to play in UK’s fourth annual Big Blue Boo.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the historic flooding from Hurricane Helene, and we understand as Tennessee Volunteers the call to serve our neighbors. The university’s Jones Center for Leadership and Service is coordinating ways to contribute to relief efforts, including trusted organizations accepting monetary donations.

Tennessee Athletics will publicize ways to donate to the following organizations: 

Public Safety is regularly monitoring Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) requests and providing assistance and resources as appropriate. Tennessee Athletics and the University will continue to pursue opportunities to assist the state and our region to address the needs of impacted communities.
