In front of a Kentucky baseball record of 5,292 fans, the Wildcats’ offense failed to show up.
Against a combined six Cardinal pitchers, the Bat ‘Cats mustered just four hits while leaving seven runners on base. After failing to build on Travis Smith’s gem of a start, Kentucky fell 7-0 to Louisville in the 114th edition of the Battle of the Bluegrass on Tuesday night at Kentucky Proud Park.
Smith pitched unquestionably his best outing of the season, racking up a season-high five innings and striking out a season-high eight batters. The Kentucky bullpen failed to build on this, however, giving up nine hits and six earned runs in four innings of relief. Not good. Not good at all.
