Kentucky's sixth day in Omaha, Neb., was "uncomfortable," thanks to the pitching of Texas A&M's Ryan Prager.
The Aggies' redshirt sophomore left-hander held the Wildcats hitless for 6 2/3 innings to keep his team in the winner's bracket of the College World Series with a 5-1 victory.
"Give their starter credit," Kentucky head coach Nick Mingione said. "Prager, what an outing. What a time to throw a game like that. Give him lot of credit. He kept us off-balance. It was the fastball, the breaking ball, the change-up. He just threw an absolute great game.
"Boy, he got our guys to take some uncomfortable swings."
It was a sensational outing for a pitcher who sat out last season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery. The effort was magnified by doing it against one of the nation's top scoring clubs on the biggest stage.
