Kentucky Baseball run-rules #19 Louisville 17-5

LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – Fresh off a statement win over Tennessee, Kentucky baseball carried that momentum into Tuesday night with a dominant run-rule victory over No. 19 Louisville, cruising to a 17-5 win in just seven innings.

Patrick Herrera led the charge with a breakout performance, going 3-for-3 at the plate and driving in a career-high five runs.

Kentucky’s offense was firing on all cylinders, tallying 11 hits and converting them into 17 runs in a game that never felt close.

With the season series now split, Kentucky avenged its earlier loss to Louisville in a big way. When the rivals clashed on April 8th, it was a tense battle that saw the Cardinals escape with a 4-3 win in ten innings. But Tuesday night told a different story—the Wildcats turned the tables with a dominant, run-rule rout.
