The UK baseball team will take the field at Cliff Hagan Stadium on Monday night against North Carolina State with a regional title on the line.
For the third time in five games in this Lexington regional, the “host” Wildcats will play as the road team and watch the action unfold for the third-base dugout, which is traditionally reserved for visitors.
Instead of a simple-to-follow format where the better seed gets to be the home team in every regional game, the NCAA has a list of guidelines to determine which team will get the home honors — and therefore bat last — in regional games.
