TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – No. 22 Kentucky won its fourth straight series and 17th consecutive game on Saturday afternoon, racing past No. 25 Alabama 9-5 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. At 5-0 in Southeastern Conference play, the Wildcats are off to their best start in league play in 31 years.
Kentucky will go for a series sweep on Sunday morning. Game time has been moved up to 11 a.m. CT due to weather concerns.
Sophomore Nolan McCarthy had three RBI on a pair of run-scoring singles and the Cats’ mantra of creating havoc for the opponent worked to perfection, as they drew five walks, four hit by pitch, stole four bases, had two sacrifice bunts and a RBI groundout.
UK (21-2, 5-0) jumped out to a 4-0 lead, saw it slashed to 4-3 in the fourth and responded by getting each of those three runs back in the next half-inning. The Cats are now 7-1 in true road contests and 21-1 since an opening day defeat.
