Three takeaways from Kentucky baseball’s 8-5 win over Louisville at Cliff Hagan Stadium:
1. Yes, Big Blue Nation is still into the Kentucky-Louisville baseball rivalry
Never mind the scheduled starting time for the first pitch was moved up two-and-a-half hours to 4 p.m.. Never mind the 45-mile-per hour winds. Never mind the threat of rain. Never mind that UK baseball was coming off a disappointing series at Alabama.
Louisville was in town Tuesday. And if you didn’t think this UK-U of L baseball rivalry was officially “a thing” with staying power, then the record regular season crowd of 4,798 was all the proof you needed.
