Balanced lineup allows Kentucky to secure opening weekend sweep
The broom in the visitor’s dugout at UNCG Baseball Stadium got a workout this weekend. Kentucky went to work and never stopped.
This party finally came to an end on Saturday night when UK left the ballpark with a 10-6 win and a series sweep to start the season. The offense once again delivered without star Tyler Bell in the lineup.
Ryan Schwartz (1-3, double, RBI, 2 walks) continued to swing a hot bat. Ethan Hindle (2-2, 2 doubles, 2 walks, HBP) keeps producing as his playing time increased with the Bell injury. Luke Lawrence (1-6, 2 RBI, 3 K) extended his RBI streak to three games and has the team lead (seven) to start the season. Kentucky ended the game with eight starters recording a hit.
