LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky (9-4) used power to pull ahead of Middle Tennessee (5-8) on their way to a 4-1 victory on Friday night.
The Wildcats belted a two-run homerun in the fourth inning to give themselves the only lead they would need. They would add runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to add insurance.
"We hung in there," Head coach Jim Toman said. "But the story of the game was their pitcher."
The Blue Raider's offense faced one of the best pitcher's in the nation in Zach Thompson. Thompson went seven innings, giving up just four hits and walking none.
