The University of Kentucky Softball team is off to a 5-1 start, and a big part of that was the play of freshman pitcher Hailey Nutter.
During the San Diego State Invitational, she pitched a no-hitter in her first career start against Loyola-Chicago. She struck out 14 batters, the most for a Kentucky pitcher in a single game since 2023, en route to a 7-0 shutout win.
She'd follow that up with a complete-game shutout against Minnesota, where she struck out eight batters and didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning.
The Mont Belvieu, Texas native earned her first SEC Freshman of the Week honor as the Cats prepare for the Stanford Invitational.
Next, Kentucky will play Cal State Fullerton on Thursday, Feb. 12, at 6 p.m. ET.
