Rapid Reaction: Kentucky Baseball avoids sweep vs. Texas A&M
Kentucky baseball didn’t win the weekend war, but it won the final battle to flip the momentum back in the Bat Cats’ direction. Losing back-to-back games in Saturday’s doubleheader vs. Texas A&M, Nick Mingione’s squad closed things out with an 8-1 victory on Sunday to wrap up the series.
How did Kentucky put together a four-run seventh inning to pull ahead and coast to a win? What did the Wildcats do to avoid a sweep with crucial matchups against No. 4 Vanderbilt, No. 6 South Carolina, Tennessee, and No. 3 Florida coming up?
KSR’s baseball beat writer Daniel Hager sat down with Steven Peake after the game to break it all down in the first-ever Rapid Reaction for the Bat Cats.
Among the highlights:
- Relief pitching impressed, combining for two allowed hits and no earned runs in the final five innings
- An early strike for the home team
- A quick response from the Aggies
- Breaking things open in the seventh
- Looking ahead to the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday
- Can Kentucky close out the year strong?
