ATHENS, Ga. – Facing the potential of an uphill battle over the second half of the conference schedule, No. 8 Kentucky held No. 18 Georgia scoreless over the final 13 innings of Saturday doubleheader, posting a 1-0 win in the nightcap to take the series.
It is the third series win of the season over a ranked opponent and the third on the road against a ranked SEC team in Nick Mingione’s two seasons as head coach. The Cats now have nine wins against ranked teams this season.
The winning rally was fitting for a three-game series that was filled with tension and momentum shifts.
