UK Baseball: No. 6 Kentucky Opens Home SEC Slate vs. No. 9 Auburn

LEXINGTON, Ky. For the third straight weekend, the Kentucky Wildcats will face a Top 10 opponent in a three-game weekend series. Beginning on Friday, the No. 6 Wildcats welcome No. 9 Auburn to Cliff Hagan Stadium.

The Cats took two of three from No. 3. Texas Tech two weeks ago before being swept in last weekend’s Southeastern Conference-opening series. They rebounded in a big way on Tuesday night, pounding Xavier 20-4 in a game that was called after eight innings due to darkness (Xavier does not have lights). The Wildcats (15-6, 0-3 SEC) crushed seven home runs in the game, including two apiece from Kole Cottam and Luke Heyer.
