Kentucky baseball swept by Vanderbilt to close the regular season
The Kentucky Wildcats baseball team played well against the Oklahoma Sooners just a week ago, sweeping them in three games. The went into their season ending series versus Vanderbilt with momentum on their side.
Unfortunately, Kentucky had ninth inning leads in both of the first two games only to lose on walk-off homeruns. On Saturday, in the finale, the Commodores wouldn't need a walk-off.
The Wildcats opened the scoring once again. Hudson Brown and Tyler Bell each hit solo homers in the third inning to take the lead. They added another in the fourth to go up 3-0. Things went awry in the sixth, though, when Vandy tied it at three. In the seventh, they tacked on two more and would go on to win it 5-3.
Kentucky scored three runs, but were held to just five hits. Outside of two innings, they also pitched pretty well.
That finishes the regular season for the Wildcats. Now, they'll wait and see if they make the NCAA Tournament, and where they'll play if they do.
