Home is definitely where the Bat Cats heart is. Nick Mingione's squad are winner's of four straight (6-5 overall) at Cliff Hagan Stadium after yesterday's 3-2 win over the No. 23 UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos, and are currently playing their best baseball of the season.
However, things almost got away from Kentucky late in the game.
The Wildcats entered the top of the ninth inning with a comfortable, but slim 3-0 advantage. Zach Pop was on the mound with an opportunity to close the door on UCSB. Pop mowed through three Gaucho batters in the eighth and appeared to be in a groove.
