Fresh off their 21-3 drumming of Southern Illinois on Sunday, the Bat ‘Cats welcome rival Indiana to Kentucky Proud Park on Tuesday for a midweek matchup. It is Kentucky’s final nonconference game before SEC play begins on Friday when Mississippi State makes the trip to Lexington.
Head coach Nick Mingione’s team is surging, having won the last 10 games in a row. The ‘Cats were listed on College Baseball Hub’s Week Four Hot Streak list from Monday after improving to 14-2. The Hoosiers have been very good lately as well. IU has won five games in a row, bringing their record to 10-6 on the season.
