Although it may not have been the dominant performance many fans expected, Kentucky held off Hofstra 7-5 to open the weekend series with a win.
The ‘Cats tallied just six hits, but still led 7-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth. Hofstra gave Kentucky a bit of a scare however, as it scored three of its five runs with no outs in the inning. However, Simon Gregersen bounced back and got out of the jam to secure the win.
Luke Lawrence enjoyed his best game of the season at the plate, notching two hits on the day. He belted a solo home run in the third inning (his first of the season) and an RBI-double in the fifth. He had just three hits on the season entering Friday’s game. Cole Hage tallied three of Kentucky’s hits, as he went 3-4 with two doubles and two RBI. He’s now reached base safely in 24 of his 35 at-bats on the season.
