That “uh oh” feeling of panic that may have settled into the stomach of the young and inexperienced Kentucky baseball team after an 0-3 start in Charleston, S.C., last weekend has disappeared after a reassuring 2-0 midweek slate against Morehead State and Eastern Michigan.

UK collected its second win in as many days with a 5-2 win over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday in the team’s home opener at Cliff Hagan Stadium. Freshman Corey Littrell (1-1), a product of Trinity High School in Louisville, pitched a gem Wednesday.

The lefty tossed 6.2 innings of two-hit, two-run ball and actually had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning of his first collegiate start.

Believe it or not, Littrell said he dreamed of pitching a no-hitter last night. See what he said about that and the sense of relief two midweek wins provided for this young UK team in the video interviews below. Brent Ingram has a full recap of the game here.
