Kentucky falls to Tennessee 9-4 in front of record crowd

[Matt Dillon]

No. 3 Kentucky fell to No. 4 Tennessee 9-4 Saturday afternoon, as the Volunteers evened up the weekend series. Kentucky Proud Park’s attendance record of 6,922 (set Friday night) lasted just over 19 hours, as 7,304 fans filed into the park on Saturday to set a new park record.

Tennessee slugged five home runs, adding to their nation-leading total of 102. The Volunteer offense, which rates as the best in the SEC, chased Kentucky’s Dominic Niman in the first inning after scoring five runs. The Cats played from behind all game and were never able to overcome the early deficit.

Kentucky fell to 32-6 (15-2) following the Saturday loss, but remain four games ahead of Tennessee in the SEC East and two games ahead of Arkansas in the SEC following its loss to South Carolina. With the loss, Kentucky’s program record of 11 consecutive SEC wins was snapped.
