No. 11 Kentucky Baseball will face its toughest challenge of the season when they travel to Baton Rouge on Thursday for a weekend series with the No. 1 team in all of college baseball, the vaunting LSU Tigers.
“There’s been a couple of times LSU has played and we’ve watched them,” Coach Nick Mingione said on Tuesday. “There’s a reason they’re the #1 team in the country.”
Kentucky’s Tuesday matchup with Louisville was postponed due to the tragic events that transpired in the city on Monday morning, so the ‘Cats will go into Thursday’s series opener having not played since their Sunday doubleheader loss to Georgia.
