Auburn softball coach Mickey Dean was appreciative of Shelby Lowe’s outing against Kentucky Monday night, during a 1-1 game in the 4th inning. Through four innings, Lowe gave up just two hits and one earned run, although it was a home run. Lowe also had two strikeouts. Speaking on the broadcast on SEC Network, Dean gave the latest on his pitcher. “She’s doing a nice job working both sides of the plate and changing eye level,” Dean said. “So as long as she can continue to do that, she’ll experience some success.” Kentucky starter Stephanie Schoonover went 3.2 innings at the time of Dean’s inter...

Stephanie Schoonover (17-6, 2.36 ERA) took the mound for No. 24 Kentucky as the Wildcats looked to sweep its weekend series against Auburn on the road.

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady was known for his signature ‘let’s go’ scream towards the crowd to hype up the stadium before games during his legendary career. Energy that clearly runs in the family. UCLA softball shortstop Maya Brady is Brady’s niece, and on Saturday following UCLA’s win over Stanford, she showed Tom isn’t the only one who can bring some high-level intensity at the right time. The Bruins’ win on Saturday marked the 800th career victory for head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez. A milestone that Brady clearly wanted to celebrate on the bus after the game in an electric announcement ...

With a 1-0 shutout victory over No. 4 Tennessee on Saturday afternoon, LSU head coach Beth Torina became the Tigers’ all-time winningest coach in program history. On Sunday, Torina pulled back the curtain on achieving the landmark milestone. “What a cool thing, man,” Torina said. “Doing it with Howard [Dobson] the whole way by my side. Lindsay [Leftwich] was here for most of them. But now, Bryce [Neal] and Quinlan [Duhon] with me. There’s so many people that contributed to this and so many women that gave their heart and soul for LSU.” Coaches aren’t the only ones who have been along with Tori...

It’s been a slow offensive start for Alabama in Game 2 of a weekend series at Arkansas, but head coach Patrick Murphy wants his squad to keep at it. And he delivered a quick message to one of his batters as the Crimson Tide were slumping. With Lauren Johnson stepping up to bat, Razorbacks pitcher Robyn Herron was in a grove, having surrendered five batters in a row. Murphy shared on the ESPN broadcast that he told Johnson she was going to get a hit, and that was that. “She’s doing a great job, No. 1.

Peyton Plotts had just what Kentucky softball needed coming out of a lengthy weather delay Saturday evening vs. Auburn. With the Wildcats up to bat for the first time and trailing 2-0 after a nearly two-hour pause, they managed to get a couple runners on base before Plotts stepped to the plate. The freshman connected with just the second pitch she saw to drive in three runs as the ball sailed to deep left center and over the fence. That allowed UK to take a 3-2 advantage for its first lead of the game. You can view the moment below. The home run was the seventh of the season for Plotts, rankin...
