BATON ROUGE, La. — Having tallied the program’s highest SEC wins total since 2013, Arkansas will be the No. 7 seed in next week’s SEC Tournament and play 20th-ranked and No. 10 seed Kentucky in Wednesday’s first round.

The 2018 SEC Softball Tournament will be played at the Mizzou Softball Stadium in Columbia, Mo.

The 7-10 matchup between Arkansas and Kentucky will be the second game of the opening round and is set for a 1:30 p.m. first pitch on the SEC Network and through the WatchESPN app.

This season marks Arkansas’ 11th appearance in the SEC Tournament and second consecutive under coach Courtney Deifel. The Razorbacks finished the regular season with a 37-14 overall record and 12-12 mark in SEC play.

Wednesday’s game will be just the second time Arkansas and Kentucky will play in the conference tournament, and first time since 2001. The two teams did not play during the regular season.
