So Texas, is this the bush league stuff you’re planning on bringing to the SEC?

Kentucky Softball @UKsoftball FINAL - Kentucky 4, Texas 4 With 1 out to go in the game and Texas' batter in an 0-2 count, our 3:30pm ET travel day drop-dead has been reached and the score reverts back to the most recently-completed inning.

The game will be recorded as a tie

Kentucky was up 7-4 at the time the game was called. Kentucky would have won had the inning finished under the timer.

Apparently, Texas subbed in/out multiple runners and held multiple mound meetings in order to delay the game so the clock would prevent them from taking the L.

Kentucky scored seven unanswered runs in the final three innings of the game and took a 7-4 lead after it hit in the eighth inning. The game had a drop-dead time of 3:30 p.m. ET due to the travel schedule of both teams leaving the Clearwater area tonight. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Texas was down to its last strike, with two outs in the inning and an 0-2 count – the 3:30 p.m. ET drop-dead time was reached and that ended the game.

With Texas not completing its at bat in the eighth inning, by NCAA rules, the score reverts back to the most previously-completed inning, which in this case is the seventh inning.

Thus, the final score in the game is recorded as a 4-4 tie, the second tie in program history.
