After digging themselves into a deep hole in Thursday’s 10-3 loss to the Gators, the No. 19 Kentucky offense used big fourth and fifth innings to take down the No. 4 ranked Florida Gators 6-4 on Senior Night in Lexington.
Friday’s victory was undoubtedly the Bat ‘Cats biggest home victory of the year, and quite possibly their second-biggest victory of the season. A series sweep would have totally wiped out any dream of Kentucky Proud Park hosting a Regional, so the dream lives on in the Commonwealth.
The tense top of the ninth inning was electric, as Kentucky’s second-largest crowd of the year (4,286) willed the ‘Cats to victory.
