The return of Zack Thompson to Kentucky’s starting pitching rotation helps Kentucky’s team and overall pitching rotation. In three innings, Thompson struck out seven batters and kept Tennessee batters off balance. The Kentucky bullpen kept Tennessee in check most of the game while the offense finds it’s groove.
