After struggling to plate runs the old-fashioned way for most of a chilly afternoon in Evansville, Kentucky shifted gears to its familiar by-any-means approach in an eighth-inning rally that paved the way to a comeback victory.
The Wildcats’ Tyler Cerny and Luke Lawrence were both hit by a pitch to open the key frame, and Tagger Tyson followed with a bunt single to load the bases.
That set the stage for junior infielder Ethan Hindle, whose ground-rule double to deep left field drove home the tying and go-ahead runs in Kentucky’s 5-3 win to take Game 2 of the series.
