Another Series in Balance on Saturday as Kentucky Falls
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Kentucky will play a Southeastern Conference series rubber match for the fourth straight weekend on Saturday afternoon after falling 9-4 to Missouri on a blustery night at Taylor Stadium.
Senior Adam Fogel roped a pair of doubles and saw the wind knock down a potential home run as the baseball gods got a bit of revenge a night after the Wildcats (21-14, 5-9 SEC) had 22 hits, their most since 2012.
Missouri dinked and ducked its way to an early lead and piled on with a five-run seventh inning to even the series.
