🔼 Two Wins. The baseball team won its series against South Carolina this past weekend. The Cats won game one 7-3 and fell in game two 4-5. Nate Harris turned in the best pitching performance by a UK freshman in an SEC start, throwing a career-high 7.0 innings and allowing just two runs on four hits. Kentucky won game three 11-5. Tyler Bell drove in three, and Luke Lawrence scored a career-high four runs. This is the team’s second consecutive SEC series win.
