LEXINGTON - Xavier baseball trailed by just one run after the sixth inning at No. 6/7 Kentucky, but a big seventh by the Wildcats put the game out of reach for the Musketeers in a 6-0 road loss on Wednesday night at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Xavier loaded the bases in the seventh and stranded two more in the eighth, failing to capitalize with runners aboard after a strong start by UK freshman Zack Thompson, who allowed just one hit in six innings of work.
XU fell to 24-18 with the loss, while Kentucky improved to 29-13.
