In a season marked by unprecedented achievement, Kentucky’s baseball team added another never-before on Monday night/Tuesday morning.
UK advanced to the first NCAA super regional in program history by rallying past North Carolina State 10-5.
Surely in anticipation of witnessing history, a large crowd came to Cliff Hagan Stadium. The announced attendance of 5,005 was a UK record.
Although a spring storm delayed the start of the game for two hours and 14 minutes, it hardly dampened fan enthusiasm. A full-throated sing-a-long to “Sweet Caroline” as 1 a.m. loomed proved that.
The delay did make for a long night.
