On3 imageby:Jack Pilgrim04/23/23

Kentucky baseball didn’t win the weekend war, but it won the final battle to flip the momentum back in the Bat Cats’ direction. Losing back-to-back games in Saturday’s doubleheader vs. Texas A&M, Nick Mingione’s squad closed things out with an 8-1 victory on Sunday to wrap up the series.

How did Kentucky put together a four-run seventh inning to pull ahead and coast to a win? What did the Wildcats do to avoid a sweep with crucial matchups against No. 4 Vanderbilt, No. 6 South Carolina, Tennessee, and No. 3 Florida coming up?

KSR’s baseball beat writer Daniel Hager sat down with Steven Peake after the game to break it all down in the first-ever Rapid Reaction for the Bat Cats.

Among the highlights:

  • Relief pitching impressed, combining for two allowed hits and no earned runs in the final five innings
  • An early strike for the home team
  • A quick response from the Aggies
  • Breaking things open in the seventh
  • Looking ahead to the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday
  • Can Kentucky close out the year strong?
