The Kentucky Bat ‘Cats welcomed the Ohio Bobcats to Kentucky Proud Park for a midweek, Wednesday one-and-done matchup and took care of their neighbors from the North by a score of 9-2.
As head coach Nick Mingione alluded to following Tuesday’s win over Murray State, Wednesday was a bullpen game for his pitching staff. Kentucky’s midweek matchup against the Bobcats was just their second outing of five this week, so preserving arms was crucial before heading into a sneaky weekend series at Southern Illinois. If you had to pick a game to get everybody reps and spread out some arm usage, this would be the one.
