CATS vs USCU Spartans, Gm. 1 Fri.

[CloverforkCat]

UK takes on USC Upststate, beginning today @ 4:00 pm. Cats come into todays' game 9-3, and on a 6 game winning streak. The Spartans are 8-6, after splitting a pair of mid-week games in Charleston S C beating the Citadel, and losing to Charleston Southern 3-1 on Wednesday.
The Spartans sport an excellent 2.81 team ERA, while on offense they have 9 HR's and curiously only 1 team stolen base.
The usual weekend starters Z Brown today, and D Beggs and K Cody in tomorrows' double header for the Cats, should be a pretty good weekend series.

Upstate gets a man to 3rd in the top of the 1st, but Brown gets out of it. Wilson leads off with a single, White and Mahan strike out, then Wilson gets picked off. USCU gets a runner on 1st in the top of the 2nd.
McNeil gets a HBP to lead off the 2nd, is sacrificed to 2nd base, but is stranded there. 0-0 going to the top of the 3rd inning.

UK loads the bases with 1 out in the bottom of the 3rd, and gets NOTHING ! Head up our rear ends today, undisclipined at bats by White, Mahan, and McNeil.
