A harsh dose of reality hit Kentucky Baseball for the second time in as many days on Saturday afternoon in Columbia, as South Carolina breezed past the ‘Cats 7-0 to win the series through two games.
Gamecocks pitcher Noah Hall diced up the UK offense for eight innings, allowing just a pair of hits while striking out eight batters in 105 pitches. Seven different batters were fanned at least one time, as the Wildcats mounted just a trio of singles and walks in 30 at-bats, getting just four runners into scoring position.
It is just the second time that Kentucky has been shut out this season, with the first occasion coming on April 22, when Vanderbilt no-hit the ‘Cats in Lexington.
