RECAP: Kentucky Wildcats bash three HRs to wrap up sweep of

[Sandman]

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The biggest question facing eighth-ranked Kentucky heading into the season was how would the pitching-blessed Wildcats replace so many key hitters from last year's regional championship squad.

If this weekend's three-game sweep of Oakland is any indication, UK has some answers.

Kentucky (7-1) pounded the Grizzlies 15-6 on Sunday at Cliff Hagan Stadium, recording 13 hits and bashing three home runs. The Cats outscored the visitors from Michigan 42-13 during the three-game set, tallying 43 hits and seven long balls.

T.J. Collett, a sophomore designated hitter considered as one of the top MLB prospects for 2019, belted four home runs in the series, bringing his season total to five. He drove in three runs on Sunday, pushing his team-leading total to 17.

Newcomer Ryan Johnson and Luke Heyer also hit two-run blasts on Sunday.

Kole Cottam (3), Luke Becker (2), Johnson (2) and Heyer (2) all had multi-hit games for the Cats. Troy Squires added a hit, three walks and a pair of RBI for UK.

Unless something unexpected happens, they should do quite well. Coach Mingione seems to be a very good coach, and he has lots of talent to work with.

I like coach Mingione as well. That girl's softball coach seems to be a good one too.
