On Friday, the Kentucky baseball team began their NCAA Tournament journey. After winning a share of the SEC regular season championship, they were awarded the number two overall seed and a spot hosting one of the regionals.
Their first game was against the Western Michigan Broncos, and they got a 10 – 8 victory to kick things off. They offense was very good, as it’s been most of the year, but the pitching struggled in the middle innings, giving up all eight runs in a two-inning span.

Kentucky has never made it to a College World Series, and has a team capable of making a run this year. They have an offense capable of exploding in any game, but will need their pitching to hold up.
Still, they started this NCAA Tournament with a win. It was a game with lots of offense on both sides, but the Cats came out on top. Here are some of the best images from the game.
