The Wildcats return to action with another five-game week, starting Tuesday and Wednesday with a pair of midweek tests against Tennessee Tech and Marshall at Cliff Hagan Stadium. Kentucky (11-0) owns the best record in the nation and is one of only two undefeated teams in college baseball, joining 10-0 Gonzaga. The Wildcats are off to the fourth-best start to a season in school annals and the best since opening up a school-record 19-0 in 2007 and 2008 and a 15-0 start in 2000. UK posted five wins during the week, with midweek wins over Morehead State (3-2) and Xavier (9-2), before posting a series sweep over Illinois-Chicago. After Friday’s game was postponed due to tornadic activities, UK swept a twinbill on Saturday, using a 4-3 result over UIC in game one and an 8-2 win over UIC in the finale. On Sunday, UK’s offense exploded and the pitching staff dominated in its second shutout of 2012, with UK posting a 20-0 win to sweep the series. The Wildcats have been paced by a balanced approach throughout the year, with an explosive offense that owns a .334 average with 13 homers in 11 games, a 2.64 team ERA with 113 strikeouts in 99 innings and a .983 fielding percentage. UK will host TTU on Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium, with TTU coached by former UK great Matt Bragga.
