In the first of three games in Nashville that nobody will see (unless you were present at E.S. Rose Field), Kentucky held off Belmont 2-1 to take the series opener.
Kentucky’s pitching staff dominated once again on Friday, as right-hander Nic McCay, left-hander Jackson Nove and right-hander Simon Gregersen held the Bruins to just one run and two hits with 14 combined strikeouts. Over Kentucky’s first three games of the season, the staff has allowed just 10 hits and two earned runs (0.72).
Kentucky’s lineup struggled once again however, as the Cats notched just three hits on the day (3-27 at the plate). Over its last 18 innings at the plate, Kentucky has totaled just six hits and three runs. Catcher Raphael Pelletier and third baseman Patrick Herrera drove in the Wildcats’ two lone runs Friday night.
