is there any way to enable the Silverlight Plug-In in Safari 12?

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 still you insist on using Silverlight on macOS, I think your "safest" bet would be use 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.
