🔼 L&L Duo. The Wildcats were victorious against Eastern Kentucky, beating them 10-0 in seven innings. Drew Lafferty ruled the mound, and Nick Lopez dominated in the batter’s box. Lafferty struck out a career-best five and did not walk anyone. Lopez hit his first home run and continues to lead the team in extra-base hits (7) and batting average (.371).
