Kentucky beat Vanderbilt 10-5, and Ryan Waldschmidt went 3-for-4 at the place with three runs, three RBIs, a double, a home run, a walk and a stolen base.

🔼 Season Finale. The men’s tennis team faced TCU in the NCAA quarterfinals and lost 0-4. The Cats finish with an overall record of 27-3 this season, which marks the fewest losses a season since 1970. Taha Baadi, Joshua Lapadat and JJ Mercer will continue their season at the Stillwater NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships.
