On Sunday, Kentucky baseball shut out the Indiana State Sycamores to win the Lexington Regional, guaranteeing them a spot in the super regional. Even better, they’d be hosting a super regional for the first time ever.
Now, the Wildcats also know their opponent. They’ll meet the Oregon State Beavers for a shot at making their first ever appearance at the College World Series.

The Beavers also swept through the regional they hosted in Corvallis. They went 3 – 0 to advance to the super regional round with wins over Tulane and UC-Irvine. They are 45 – 14 overall and have one of college baseball’s best players in Travis Bazzana. The two teams have never faced each other before.
Kentucky knows who they will play in the best-of-three series, but the day and time of game one hasn’t been announced yet. Big Blue Nation is hoping for two more wins, and then a trip to Omaha for the first time in school history.
