The Kentucky Wildcats had a thrilling 5-4 win over the NC State Wolfpack in Omaha, securing their place in the College World Series. The game went into ten innings, with Kentucky’s timely home runs helping them overcome a 4-3 lead by NC State in the bottom of the ninth. The Wildcats’ defense held strong in the tenth inning, and a homer from Mitchell Daly sealed the victory.
Kentucky starter Trey Pooser pitched 6.2 innings, giving the bullpen some much-needed rest with only 2.1 innings of work. This sets up the pitching staff well for their next game against Texas A&M Aggies, who also won their game against Florida Gators. The upcoming matchup between these two SEC teams promises to be intense, with Texas A&M ace Ryan Prager likely starting.
Prager is known for his accuracy and assortment of pitches, posing a challenge for Kentucky’s hitters. With a win against Texas A&M on Monday at 7:00 pm ET on ESPN, the Wildcats will be in a strong position to make it to the final series and secure their place as champions of the College World Series.
