LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A day after posting a series-clinching win against Vanderbilt, the Kentucky Wildcats left 11 runners on base and gave up two go-ahead runs in the top of the sixth inning in a 4-2 loss to the Commodores, on a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
The loss gives UK its first home loss of the year, snapping an 11-game home winning streak. UK has now won three of the last four series meetings between the two schools and has claimed four wins in the last five games with the Commodores. The potent UK pitching staff – headlined by Friday starter James Paxton and Saturday starter Chris Rusin – held down the Vanderbilt offense, an offense that entered the series averaging 8.2 runs per game. During the series, UK held Vandy to seven runs combined, outscoring the Commodores 11-7.
UK left a total of 11 base runners on in the game, including eight runners in the last five innings. UK’s 11 men left on is a season-high for nine-inning games, as UK stranded 12 runners in an 11-inning win at New Orleans.
