UK Softball is going dancing for the 16th consecutive year

CLEMSON, Sc. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – Kentucky softball is putting on their dancing shoes, yet again. The wildcats (29-26) were selected on Sunday as an at-large team out of the SEC conference.

Kentucky will be taking on the wildcats of Northwestern (29-28-1) in the NCAA Clemson Regional. Meanwhile, the 11-seed tigers will be taking on USC Upstate. The regional follows a double-elimination format.
