No. 12 Kentucky baseball survived the Lexington Regional on Monday, earning a rematch with No. 5 LSU in the Super Regionals in Baton Rouge.
The Bat Cats kicked off the regional as the host and No. 1 seed, shutting out MAC Champions Ball State 4-0 on Friday. The double-elimination nature of the tournament saw the Cardinals fall to the losers’ portion of the bracket, facing off against the No. 2 seeded West Virginia, which was defeated by Indiana on Friday night.
West Virginia conquered Ball State on Saturday afternoon, ending the Cardinals’ postseason run and giving the Mountaineers a date with the loser of the Cats and Hoosiers.
