Kentucky completely dominated Belmont on Saturday, as the Wildcats took down the Bruins 12-0 to win their first weekend series of the season.
After totaling just six hits and three runs in their previous 18 innings of play, the Kentucky lineup compiled eight hits (four XBH) and 12 runs on Saturday. Six Wildcat batters totaled at least one RBI, while freshman shortstop Tyler Bell and Milwaukee transfer Carson Hansen led the way with four apiece. Bell belted his first career home run and Hansen knocked his first home run as a Wildcat in the win.
Along with a resurgent offense, Kentucky’s pitching staff continued to dominate opposing batters. The Bruin offense had absolutely nothing for left-hander Ben Cleaver, who experienced the best outing of his young career. In six innings, Cleaver allowed just one hit while striking out a career-high 11 batters.
