UK Baseball Knocks Off Evansville to Complete Perfect Opening Weekend

This is Kentucky’s best start to a season since 2012 and the first 4-0 start on the road since 2007.

Tristan Pompey was 4-for-4 Sunday with 3 doubles, 3 runs scored and a walk.

Here are details from UK:

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Tristan Pompey hit three doubles and freshman pitcher Daniel Harper was impressive in his first collegiate start as No. 8 Kentucky defeated Evansville 8-4 to close out a perfect opening weekend in South Carolina. It’s the Wildcats’ first 4-0 start on the road since 2007.

Pompey, a preseason First-Team All-American, did nothing to change that designation to start the season, smacking eight hits, scoring six runs and posting an OPS of 1.
