LEXINGTON, Ky. – Freshman Grace Baalman pitched a complete game on Saturday afternoon, going the distance without allowing a walk and striking out five in a 4-1 series-opening win over the No. 8 LSU Tigers at John Cropp Stadium.
The win for Kentucky is its first this season in the Southeastern Conference, and first over a top-10 opponent since April 30 of 2017 when UK beat No. 4 LSU, 7-4. Baalman in the circle picked up her ninth win of the season to improve to 9-2 on the year. LSU's Carley Hoover took the loss, and fell to 9-2 on the year, as well.
