After Friday night's display of heavy artillery in their first win at South Carolina since the George W. Bush administration, the No. 6 Bat Cats split the remaining two games with the Gamecocks to take another critical SEC series.
Nick Mingione's team sits atop the SEC East by a game over Florida with a 31-14 overall record and are 14-7 in conference play, and share the overall lead in the SEC with Mississippi State and Auburn.
The Wildcats next take the field this coming Friday against the Georgia Bulldogs at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
South Carolina 5, Kentucky 1
The day after ending a nine-game losing streak at South Carolina via an offensive supernova, crack pitching from South Carolina silenced the Wildcats' potent lineup as the Gamecocks evened the series Saturday afternoon.
