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.
