After a rough four-game losing skid, Kentucky baseball bounced back in a big way against a ranked SEC foe.
On Friday night at Kentucky Proud Park, the Wildcats (26-20; 11-14 SEC) overcame an early deficit to take the first game of the series against No. 14 Oklahoma, winning 4-3. Facing a projected first-round MLB Draft pick on the mound in Kyson Witherspoon, Kentucky racked up six hits and four earned runs before he was relieved after five innings of work.
Currently sitting on the NCAA Tournament bubble, the Bat Cats need to win this weekend’s series to lock up a spot in the postseason. After being swept by one of the conference’s bottom teams in Mississippi State last weekend, Kentucky is off to a great start against the Sooners.
