Ahead of their weekend clash with No. 23 Tennessee, the Bat ‘Cats took care of business at home on Tuesday night in their final midweek game of the regular season. After an early scare, the 17th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats settled in and downed Tennessee Tech 9-2.
As predicted in the game preview, Nick Mingione relied solely on his bullpen in this one.
The Wildcats trotted out seven different pitchers with Colby Frieda getting the start. Frieda and Seth Logue were the only pitchers to give up a run. The pitching staff combined for 15 strikeouts on the night, allowing just seven hits.
