LSU Holds off Kentucky in Back-and-Forth Thriller to Take Series

[Matt Dillon]

In what was a back-and-forth thriller, Kentucky fell just short of a massive series victory over the No. 1 team in the country, LSU. After the Tigers took the lead in the bottom of the eighth, the ‘Cats failed to respond in the top of the ninth to fall 7-6.

Even with the series loss, the ‘Cats showed that they can hang with anybody in college baseball, an extremely encouraging sign with postseason play on the horizon. After taking a 6-4 lead in the top of the seventh, UK failed to contain the stellar LSU offense. The decision to walk Dylan Crews to load the bases with Tommy White up to bat was definitely a questionable call that came back to bite the Bat Cats in the end.

The sweep was ours for the taking. Still, this team is dangerous this year and that's something we've not been able to say in a while.

We lost 2 of 3. Lost pretty badly on Thursday l. But still a good showing in Baton Rouge.

Proud of the fight in this team. They don't quit. GO CATS!!!
