The Wildcats desperately needed a series win to end the season and they got it behind terrific pitching from Zack Brown and Kyle Cody. The bats finally woke up in the 3rd and deciding game, scoring 8 runs off Tiger pitchers in the rubber game.
Kentucky entered the weekend having dropped their previous two SEC series to Vanderbilt and Georgia. The Cats needed a series win to stay in the hunt for an NCAA bid and a sweep to finish the year with a winning conference record. They didn't get the sweep, but they did take the series to finish the regular season on a high note.
