For the first time in six years, the Kentucky Bat ‘Cats have won an NCAA Tournament game. For the first time in program history, the Wildcats shut out an opponent in an NCAA Tournament game.
It was a good day to be a Wildcat, as Kentucky baseball blanked Ball State 4-0 in the first round of the Lexington Regional on Friday. They will now wait around to see who wins the nightcap between Indiana and West Virginia, as the ‘Cats will face the winner Saturday at 6:00 p.m. EST.
Trennor O’Donnell was sensational for the Cardinals, holding the ‘Cats to just three hits in his 7.1 innings on the mound. When he exited, however, the ‘Cats scored three insurance runs in the eighth to put this one away. With Mason Moore returning to the mound, this one was all but over. The sophomore was phenomenalin his five innings of relief on Friday, not allowing a hit to any of the 14 batters he faced.
