Lexington, (Ky.) ? The Kentucky baseball team will play host to East Tennessee State on Wednesday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium. The Wildcats enter the contest on a four-game winning streak, including a sweep of last weekend?s Service Academy Tournament in Millington, Tenn. UK defeated Air Force, Indiana and Memphis to take the championship of that tournament.

Kentucky has won both of the games played in the series with ETSU, including a 3-0 decision in 2003. The only other time the schools have played was in 1988 when Kentucky bested the Bucs, 12-9.

East Tennessee State enters the game with Kentucky having taken two of three from Central Michigan over the weekend. The Bucs sandwiched wins of 14-2 and 13-3 around a 12-5 loss on Saturday. ETSU lost its first five games of the season, but rebounded to win the next five, and now stands at 6-6 on the year.

Kentucky defeated Air Force, 11-1, last Friday, and Indiana, 10-2, on Saturday, before beating Memphis, 2-1, in 12 innings to take the Service Academy Tournament crown. The Wildcats now stand at 7-2 on the young season, their best start since a 15-0 run to open the 2000 campaign.

First pitch on Wednesday is set for 2 p.m. (ET). UK will send sophomore Aaron Tennyson (0-0) to the mound. Tennyson has appeared in two games for the Cats so far this season, throwing 2 2/3 innings and allowing one unearned run. He will be opposed by freshman Caleb Glafenhein (1-0).
