Kentucky closed out non-conference play strong with a 9-2 win over Northern Illinois Tuesday night.
Tuesday’s showing was extremely encouraging, as Kentucky had scored just a combined six runs over its last two games. Seven Wildcat batters notched at least one hit, while five drove in at least one run. Devin Burkes, Luke Lawrence and Dylan Koontz shined, as the trio drove in two runs apiece.
Freshman right-hander Nate Harris was also great in his third start of the season, as he held Northern Illinois to just two hits and one run over five innings of work.
The ‘Cats will now take their 13-2 record to No. 4 Georgia this weekend for their first SEC series of the season. The Bulldogs will be looking for revenge, as Kentucky swept and outscored them 37-15 at Kentucky Proud Park last season.
