No, there is no way to make the current version of the Silverlight plugin work with Safari 12.
As of today, no actively supported web browser on macOS can run the current Silverlight plugin (neither Safari, Chrome nor Firefox, see below for more information). The culprit is the technology the plugin is based on: NPAPI, which has been deprecated in all major browsers because of security concerns, the latest of them being Safari with version 12.
This means that you must use an unsupported browser, with all the risks that entails.
If you insist on using Silverlight on macOS, I think your 'safest' bet would be Firefox 52 ESR for that specific sports site. You can download it from Mozilla's release repository.
Firefox 52 ESR has been replaced with Firefox 60 ESR, but its latest version is somewhat recent, released on June 25 2018.
As explained above, neither Safari 12, Chrome version 45 or later nor Firefox 52 or later support NPAPI plugins, with the exception of Adobe Flash.

I had the same problem. A long time ago I used a Browser from Germany called iCab.
I installed the newest iCab version 5.85.5. It cost $10 USD and it works fine with Silverlight on macOS 10.13.6.

The current version of Google Chrome is running Netflix just fine on my mac. (mid 2010 mini, 10.13.6 High Sierra)
That's the only work around I know for older macs, according to Netflix newer macs will show video in html5.

The solution may be as simple as opening Safari then opening Preferences under the security icon open Plug-in Settings button, check to see if the Silverlight icon is checked, if it is NOT check the box and then try opening the application or website that uses Silverlight. This should work. Also using Firefox website works too, it will indicate whether your version of Silverlight is activated or needs to be allowed for use. I hope this helps.
make sure you are allowing Silverlight software to run on your machine.
