Tom, UK build important momentum with Tennessee sweep

Ka'ai Tom knew he would have to deliver for the Wildcats to have the kind of season they wanted to have.

He did on Saturday.

"Obviously he was impactful today," UK head coach Gary Henderson said. "Clearly."

With Tom anchoring the lineup in the No. 3 spot, Kentucky baseball completed a sweep of rival Tennessee for the first time in Cliff Hagan Stadium history. The Cats won 5-3, due in large part to Tom's big afternoon. The junior right fielder had three hits in four at-bats, driving in three runs.

"It does help us get back on track in the conference," Tom said.
