No score after 1 full inning. Andrew Nelson on the mound for the Cats today, evidently Kyle Cody unable to go today.

Cats get 3 more in bottom of 3rd, Hairston another rbi single, now 6 for 7 on the season. Wow ! Cats lead 5-0 going to the 4th.
Anyone know why Cody couldn't go today?
Also, has Reida lost his job at short stop or did he get injured? He hasn't played since last Sunday.
Hairston also getting the start today over Ka'ai Tom. Hairston was hitting .800 coming into the game and is 2 for 2 so far. That is one great problem to have. Two left fielders that are extremely hot at that plate definitely can't hurt. Before today our outfielders are hitting .439, .362, .333, and .800. Pretty amazing.

WOW...16-2 bottom of the 7th and still batting...Don't know how this will translate over to the conference , but these guys are sure putting up a lot of runs...win or lose...
Not sure how it will translate to the SEC, but it has to be a good sign. If nothing else it should help to give us confidence going into the hard SEC slate. Unfortunately we don't really ease into the SEC. We get Alabama first and then take on undefeated South Carolina (3) followed by Vanderbilt (6). We also get Indiana coming up this week. So, we should get some good measuring sticks pretty soon. I think a big deal will be how they play against South Carolina. LSU killed our confidence last year... USC could do the same this year. If we compete against them then we should have a very good sign.
Personally, I have to imagine our hitting will continue to be pretty solid. After all, we are hitting the ball and not just taking advantage of a lot of errors or walks. We are just hitting it well. 21 hits so far today. Everyone that has played today, if I am not mistaken, has gotten a hit except for Storm Wilson who technically hasn't recorded an at bat but has scored 3 runs.
UK has now put up 24 runs in the last two games. Pretty damn impressive. 26 in this one.

UK 26 Ball State 3 final from the Cliff. Cats out score BSU 50-4 the last 2 days, has to be a school record for runs in back to back games UK hits the road next to Bloomington to face IU.

Okay. Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard anything, but I haven't been able to listen to a ton of the games.
Actually they first thought he had rolled his ankle, turns out it's his back. That could take longer to heal.
Heres the highlight video from yesterday's game.Heady and Shelby flashing the leather. And they're both only freshmen. The future is bright up the middle.

Yep, he is the youngest son of John 'T-bone' Shelby, and brother of former UK star John Shelby II. His dad has 2 world series rings, 1 from the '83 Orioles, and 1 from the '88 Dodgers.Originally posted by sluggercatfan:

There's another Shelby, Jaren, who's a Soph and plays at Tates Creek right now. My son has played against his teams in the past.Originally posted by CloverforkCat:
