Kentucky v. Evansville

Becker also goes down swinging to end the 8th.

Going to the top of the 9th with UK leading 8-4.

The batting average coming out of this first weekend might be the only concern. Looks like we end up only .264 for the day.

edit:
I misread their box score and figured we were 8 out of 34. Not to close it was 10 out of 30.

Hazelwood now in for Coleman.

Which may have been expected with so many new faces in the lineup. I think we’ll be alright as the season develops.

I misread it. I guess we are .300 today. I always need something to worry about.

He starts off with a fly ball to left to get the first out of the final inning. Strikeout for the second out of the inning. Back to back strikeouts gives UK the victory! 4-0 for the weekend!

Good thing we won our home opener. Why does the SEC web site have us as 1-0 at home 3-0 on the road?

 

[Comebakatz3]

According to UK baseball Twitter we haven't opened 4-0 since 2012.

Great job Cats, our young pitchers really shined this weekend. Coleman, Lockhart, Harper, Hazelwood were lights out.
Mission accomplished, as we start the 2018 season with 4 straight wins, 3 were true road wins, always helps that RPI.

Technically, we were the home team today.

Not to continue the Dick Gabriel bashing, but he needs to come out of the box. He is so boring. No energy at all. But hey, the cats are 4-0.

Last season we started 0-4, but that was with 3 games at uncheat

Wednesday's home opening opponent is within 1 inning of being swept down at FSU. No disgrace there, but they have been an NCAA tourney team the past 2 years.
They lost their coach to cross town rival Cincinnati, but they will be a good team coming into the Cliff.

He is best on the TV games, when paired with Doug Flynn, who brings a lot to the table. Doug is both knowledgeable and funny !

That's true. The combination is pretty good.

Bats are typically a little behind at this time of year, though. I wouldn't be too concerned about that right now.

The bullpen has me excited. Only five runs (and could have been less) in 15.1 innings of work this weekend.
