LEXINGTON, Ky. – The second game of the Kentucky baseball series with No. 12 Arkansas is currently in a rain delay. The two teams are scheduled to play a doubleheader that was originally slated to begin at 1 p.m. ET. Game officials and coaches will meet shortly to monitor the weather and determine a potential start time.
The game will resume in the bottom of the third inning with the game scoreless and senior rightfielder Neiko Johnson leading off.
