Hilltoppers unable to slow down UK in defeat

WKU (18-20-1) was defeated 15-4 by Kentucky (21-20) for the second time this season, giving the Wildcats the season sweep.

“I thought the game was competitive for half the game. The second half of the game they did a good job,” head coach John Pawlowski said.“They put some good swings on it, got themselves in really good positive hitting counts. When you do that against anybody, especially a team like that, they’re going to swing the bats.”

WKU went away from its usual starting rotation and went with junior right hander Jeff Ciocco, making his second start of the season.
