The Hoosiers missed a golden opportunity to get a huge NCAA Tournament resume building win in Lexington on Tuesday night, as Indiana fell to rival Kentucky 4-2 at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Indiana jumped out early as Matt Lloyd blasted an opposite field home run to give the Hoosiers an 1-0 advantage before the 9th ranked Wildcats had a chance to bat. However, Kentucky would answer in the bottom half of the first inning. After Tristan Pompey lead off the frame with a single, Hoosier starter Brian Hobbie retired the next 2 batters to put himself in a good position to get out of the frame with no damage, but after a wild pitch, Wildcat cleanup hitter Luke Beaker lined an RBI single.
