A cold hard dose of reality hit Kentucky Baseball in Fayetteville, as the Wildcats (14-7, 0-3 Southeastern conference) managed just six runs in three games while getting swept by the No. 3 Arkansas Razorbacks (16-3, 3-0 SEC.)
The sweep comes after a 20-7 drubbing at the hands of Indiana in Bloomington, signaling that time of the year when UK typically slides slowly down the Power 5 totem pole.
Crush the in-state foes and mid-majors as much as you’d like, it’s time for the big leagues.
Big bats go missing
Kentucky entered the weekend having pushed at least five runs across the plate in 15 of its first 18 games, signaling that its bats were the key to victory.
